EOC Activation Day 329
Gathering virtually or with the people you live with is the safest way to celebrate the Super Bowl this year. If you do have a small gathering with people who don’t live with you, outdoors is safer than indoors. This year, choose a safer way to
enjoy the game.
- Host a virtual Super Bowl watch party.
- Attend an outdoor viewing party where viewers can sit 6 feet apart.
If you plan to host or attend a small gathering, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk of getting or spreading COVID-19. The CDC provides tips to safely celebrate events and small gatherings.
