Reviewer feedback on this answer:
A bit confusing on what to do. Requires too much knowledge about numbers and spread of COVID-19 to make a decision. Could be improved by mentioning state requirements.
Basic referral of checking some place else. The dates and info are outdated but it is a start.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
It provides a link to updated information but doesn't explicitly state what the update says. March 29th is a very long time ago in terms of the pandemic. I wouldn't say it's the President's guidelines either, his credibility is zero on this issue.
This answer is a bit confusing and feels out of date. It leaves a lot open to interpretation. For example, it leaves it up to each person to decide whether there is "minimal", "moderate" or "substantial spread of COVID-19 in the community."

page_title: FAQs for Administrators and Leaders at Community- and Faith-Based Organizations
section_headers: Substantial spread of COVID-19 in the local community
Should my organization cancel or postpone an event if there is substantial spread of COVID-19 in the local community?
section_content: You should first follow the directions of your state and local authorities. If
authorities do not have specific directions related to cancelling or
postponing a group event or activity, read CDC guidance on community
events.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Provides no actual information. A link to a list of state/local authorities most current recommendations would be better.
This is acceptable because the answer is different depending on which state you live in. For this reason people should first check their state guidelines.
