The Turkish football federation says a limited number of spectators will be allowed into stadiums to watch games as of October as it relaxes coronavirus restrictions, The Associated Press reported.

The federation says stadiums around the country would operate at a maximum of 30 percent capacity.

The spectators would have their temperatures taken before being admitted. They would be required to wear masks and keep to social distancing rules.

The decision comes despite an uptick in in the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the country. Daily infections have jumped to more than 1,000 since Aug. 4 to reach levels previously recorded in June.
