PITTSBURGH — People are encouraged to wear a mask and follow social distancing guidelines at a boat parade and rally in support of President Trump in Pittsburgh on Saturday.

The organizer, Tricia Cunningham, told our partners at TribLive.com that more than 10,000 people and 283 boats have signed up for the event online. The event is being organized in part through her group, Team Trump PA.

It’s not clear if the event will happen after the Allegheny County Health Department issued an order not allowing any gatherings of more than 25 people. Cunningham said it will still go on, however.
