NORTH BAY, ON – Super Bowl Sunday is just days away and the North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit (Health Unit) wants to help you have a COVID-19 safe Super Bowl LV celebration. Although the Stay-at-Home Order is still in effect, there are many virtual ways to take in the day with friends and family:
- plan a videoconference with your friends and loved ones and watch together;
- set up a group chat and keep connected while watching at your individual homes;
- coordinate a menu amongst friends, so that everyone can “virtually” share the same game day snacks;
- support local restaurants by ordering your favorite take-out for delivery or pick-up;
- set up game day challenges to stay active and competitive with your friends and family.
“We know that people will want to celebrate this day with their friends and family, but we need to remember to do so safely,” reminds Dr. Jim Chirico, Medical Officer of Health. “With new COVID-19 variant cases surging across the province, following the Stay-at-Home Order is more important than ever. This doesn’t mean we can’t have fun, we simply need to be more creative.”
The Health Unit reminds residents that the provincial Stay-at-Home Order means that you cannot gather indoors with people you do not live with, or if you live alone with people outside your one exclusive close contact family. Traveling outside your home should be limited except for going to work or school, and for essential trips such groceries, medication, and medical appointments.
