He had not heard about the state lifting mask mandates and other COVID-19 guidelines, but he said he was opposed to some of the restrictions in the first place, which he thinks hurt the economy.“I’ve never had anyone around me, close, that’s had [Covid-19,]” said Froom.Meanwhile, Dodger Stadium opened up to a full capacity crowd for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic on Tuesday, allowing up to 60,000 fans in for the game against the Phillies, according to news reports.
