Dr. Anthony Fauci, says when it comes to Super Bowl parties during the pandemic, people should ājust lay low and cool it.āHe said during TV interviews Wednesday that now isnāt the time to invite people over for watch parties because of the possibility that theyāre infected with the coronavirus and could sicken others.
Big events like Sundayās 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.
āYou don't want parties with people that you havenāt had much contact with,ā he told NBC's āTodayā show.
