Dr. Anthony Fauci, said Wednesday that when it comes to Super Bowl parties during the pandemic, people should “just lay low and cool it.”
During TV interviews, Fauci said now isn’t the time to invite people over for watch parties because they might be infected with COVID-19 and could sicken others.
Big events like Sunday’s game in Tampa, Florida, between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are always a cause for concern over the potential for virus spread, Fauci said.
