The director of the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS), Zoé Robledo, made a call to the 25 million fans of the Super Bowl in the country, to enjoy the game “at home and only with those at home” and avoid meetings that spread the contagion of COVID-19.
“For the NFL, Mexico is the second largest market in the world, after the United States. The country has 25 million fans, most of them live in urban areas in Mexico City and the State of Mexico, and in other cities and the recommendations are to see it at home and with those who live in that house, enjoy it safely ”, asked the official through a video posted on Twitter.
He pointed out that the safest way to take care of those we love is to start with oneself, so he asked not to lower his guard and continue working to reduce infections and hospitalizations.
This Saturday I want to make a respectful call to those who plan to see the #SuperBowl tomorrow. Please, no parties or meetings. See it at home and only with those at home.
