Other low-risk options for celebrating with others include having a virtual Super Bowl watch party or gathering outdoors if possible.If you decide to host a gathering:<ul>
 <li>Remind guests to stay home if they are sick or have been&nbsp;<a href="https://www.k-state.edu/covid-19/guidance/health/covid-19-exposure-protocol.html">exposed to COVID-19</a>.</li><li>Keep a list of guests who attend for potential future&nbsp;<a href="https://www.k-state.edu/covid-19/guidance/health/contact-tracing.html">contact tracing</a>&nbsp;needs.</li><li>Encourage physical distancing and wear face coverings.</li><li>Ensure the room or space is well ventilated. (For example, open a window.) </li>
 </ul>If you attend an event or gathering:<ul>
 <li>Stay home if you are sick, if you are waiting on results of a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.k-state.edu/covid-19/guidance/health/testing.html">COVID-19 test</a>&nbsp;or if you may have been&nbsp;<a href="https://www.k-state.edu/covid-19/guidance/health/covid-19-exposure-protocol.html">exposed to COVID-19</a>.</li><li>Avoid crowded, poorly ventilated indoor gatherings.</li><li>Bring a face covering and hand sanitizer.</li>
 </ul>It is important to remember that someone who is sick with COVID-19 can spread it for two days, or 48 hours, before they show any symptoms. Also, not everyone with COVID-19 will have symptoms, but they may still spread it to others. Anyone who has been in close contact with someone who has COVID-19, has shown symptoms or has tested positive for COVID-19 should stay home and avoid in-person activities.
