Local Health Officials Urge Caution For Super Bowl Parties

Super Bowl 55 is here and people nationwide will watch as the Chiefs and Buccaneers go head-to-head for that championship title.

Mayor Bynum says his game plan the game is to watch with family from the comfort of his home and to play his part in preventing the Super Bowl from becoming a super spreader event. Dr. Bruce Dart with the Tulsa Health Department says it's a team effort and recommends everyone follow in the mayor's footsteps by watching the game only with those within your household. He understands bars and restaurants rely on the income from customers on gameday and ask that they simply follow the three W's: Wear a mask, watch your distance, and wash your hands.

THD recommends no more than 10 people attend private watch parties and says, weather permitting, it's always better to gather outside
