Health officials in Canada are singing the same tune as NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, pleading with football fans to safely enjoy the big game on Sunday.
Acting deputy chief provincial public health officer and Dallas Cowboys fan Dr. Jazz Atwal says he’ll be watching the game, but will be adhering to the orders.
“Indoor group gatherings remain the two designated people you have chosen to come to your home. No new people should be entering your home to watch the game.”
For those planning an outdoor gathering, Atwal reminded Manitobans the current health orders only permit five people to gather in your backyard, plus whoever lives at that house.
“It’s going to be a cold weekend, think about that. The fundamentals apply to these outdoor gatherings as well — wear a mask, physical distance, wash your hands and cover your cough. Most importantly, don’t go to anyone’s house if you’re sick — indoor or outdoor.”
Tom Brady and the Buccaneers will host the Kansas City Chiefs at Tampa Bay’s Raymond James Stadium.
Kick-off is at 5:30 p.m. CST on Sunday, and Canadian R&B star The Weekend will perform at halftime.
