US Citizen spouses not allowed to attend immigrants' GC/Naturalization interviews?

[Bjh 39]

I went to our assigned USCIS Applicant Service Center for my wife's biometrics appointment earlier today, and I wasn't allowed in which is what I expected. However, I also noticed that some people who were attending their naturalization interviews weren't allowed to bring in their spouses...

 

Now, I didn't see anyone who went in for a GC interview based on a K1 or IR1 visa, but due to the COVID pandemic, are ASCs not allowing spouses in for these interviews as well? That would seem very odd, as I would imagine the appointment letter would include both due to the nature of these visas...

Spouses where never allowed into the interview for the N-400. They were allowed to wait in the waiting room but never for the interview.
