The Westminster Kennel Club announced Monday that spectators won’t be allowed at this year’s dog show because of restrictions related to the coronavirus pandemic.

It’s the latest change due to the pandemic for the prestigious dog show, which was moved from its usual February date to June, and from its usual home at New York City’s Madison Square Garden to Tarrytown, New York, north of Manhattan, where it will be held outdoors.

It will be the first time in over a century that Westminster won’t be held at Madison Square Garden.
