Daily News | Sports bars can be great places for catching the Phillies and Eagles — and COVID-19
With the Phillies in the National League championships, the Eagles still undefeated, and the Union making waves, it’s a great time for Philadelphia sports fever.
Yes, official COVID totals are fairly low at the moment. Yet in Philadelphia and the rest of the country, those numbers have long been considered to be an underestimate, given that so many people are now testingThe safe bet is to assume that the virus is circulating, said Chrysan Cronin, director of the public health program at Muhlenberg College.
If you are headed out to watch the games amid lots of other fans, Cronin offers these reminders as to why COVID still matters, and what you can do to minimize risk.Nearly everyone has had some type of exposure to the coronavirus, whether through an infection, the vaccines, or both. That means in most cases, an infection will cause mild to moderate symptoms, followed by full recovery.
By all means, cheer for the teams. But in order to protect yourself and others, Cronin says certain precautions remain a good idea. Think tailgate party rather than a hot, crowded watering hole, as fresh air allows any airborne virus particles to dissipate.“If I were ever indoors in a crowded place where I was face-to-face with other people drinking beer, I would put a mask on,” she said.
