Even as the number of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations continue to fall in Los Angeles County, health officials are issuing a stark warning to residents, asking them to avoid hanging out with people outside their households to watch the Super Bowl this weekend. We understand this is normally a time to get together with friends and extended family. But this year is different and we don’t want or need another step backwards on our recovery journey, health officials wrote. The serious consequences of gathering indoors with people outside of your household to watch the Super Bowl is just not worth it. Enjoy the game, cheer for your team, and do it all from a comfortable chair or couch in your home with those you live with. Connect virtually to your friends. This weekend, we ask that you not share with others your respiratory droplets, which are more easily spread when we raise our voices, sing, and chant.
