NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York’s Times Square will bid farewell to 2020 without the usual huddled masses jamming the streets on New Year’s Eve, as celebration organizers on Wednesday responded to the global pandemic with plans for a scaled-back, virtual event.

In a “preliminary teaser” of what was to come on Dec. 31, the Times Square Alliance said that watching the famous ball come down to usher in 2021 will be a digital affair for all but a very limited group of socially distanced, in-person honorees.
==================================================
This is to prevent Times Square from becoming a giant coronavirus petri dish.
 
Why can't they let only covid infected people at Time Square this tear?
