A warning was issued to upcoming audience members, saying “If anyone does not wear a mask, they will be escorted out.”

Interestingly enough, Vice President Pence’s campaign has made it clear that they oppose the use of plexiglass, as Pence’s spokeswoman Katie Miller told NBC News, “If Sen. Harris wants to use a fortress around herself, have at it.”

It was also originally planned for the two candidates to be separated 7 feet from each other, which has since changed to 12 feet.

For Americans tuning into the debate, the change in procedure and extra precautionary measures will be a grim reminder of the pandemic that continues to disrupt practically every facet of American life.
