Keep the Super Bowl Super Safe!

It’s been just over a year since the Chiefs defeated the 49ers in Super Bowl LIV in 2020, but we’ve learned a lot about the Coronavirus over those twelve months. One thing we’ve all learned is how easily the Coronavirus can spread during small, indoor gatherings. The good news – that doesn’t mean you can’t have a super Super Bowl!

The CDC outlines steps everyone can take to make small gatherings safer, things like:

• Avoid shouting, cheering loudly, or singing. Clap, stomp your feet, or bring (or provide) hand-held noisemakers instead.

• Avoid crowds and indoors spaces that do not offer fresh air from the outdoors. If indoors, bring in fresh air by opening windows and doors, if possible.

• Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after you have been in a public place, after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing and before eating.

• Guests should avoid direct contact, including handshakes and hugs, with others not from their household.

• Masks should be worn indoors and outdoors except when eating or drinking.

• Stay at least 6 feet away from others who do not live with you
