The \u201cBig Game\u201d is typically one of the largest social events of\nthe year, but because of the COVID pandemic, large gatherings are strongly\ndiscouraged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact that we are unable to get\ntogether the way we normally would doesn\u2019t mean we still can\u2019t have a fun\nexperience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way to enjoy the game with\nextended friends and family is to host a virtual event.&nbsp; This is considered the safest way to\ncelebrate the Super Bowl. According to the Centers for Disease Control and\nPrevention (CDC), some of the ways to make a virtual event fun include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Wear clothing or decorate your home with your favorite team\u2019s logo or colors.<\/li><li>Make appetizers or snacks with the people you live with to enjoy while watching      the game and share the recipes with your friends and family.<\/li><li>Start a text group with other fans to chat about the game while watching.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Another\noption is to use a projector screen to host an outdoor viewing event.&nbsp; While not as safe as a virtual event, getting\ntogether outdoors is considered less risky than an indoor event.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Normal\nbehavior at Super Bowl gatherings include a lot of shouting, cheering and\nlaughing. When this occurs outdoors, the tiny droplets of saliva that come out\nof our mouths\nis better dispersed into the environment and become more diluted, making the\nrisk of infection less likely.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When hosting an\noutdoor party, some safety tips include spacing guests six feet apart and encouraging\neveryone bring their own snacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like holiday\ngathering, Super Bowl parties can be super-spreader events.
