The NFL announced this morning that half of the approximately 14,000 fans that will get to attend the Super Bowl on February 7th will be health care workers.
Commissioner Roger Goodell announced that the NFL is inviting 7,500 vaccinated health care workers to attend the game at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. Each team will get to select a handful of medical workers from their communities and send them to game, all expense-free. Goodell says, "These dedicated health care workers continue to put their own lives at risk to serve others, and we owe them our ongoing gratitude. This is also an opportunity to promote the importance of vaccination and appropriate health practices, including wearing masks in public settings." (CBS News)
