Masks were given out at the Super Bowl, but many fans didn’t wear them

(KTLA) – Despite the mask awarded at the Super Bowl, there were very few fans who actually wore face coverings during the big event.

All attendees of Sunday’s event at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, were required to wear KN95 masks, as Los Angeles County still requires masks at so-called “major events.”

But if you’ve watched the match, you might have noticed that a lot of the spectators weren’t wearing face coverings, including celebrities and fans alike.

The county requires everyone 2 years of age and older to wear a face covering unless they are eating or drinking at the stadium. Fans 5 years of age and older must also present a COVID-19 vaccine pass, a negative PCR test within 48 hours, or a negative antigen test within 24 hours to enter.

SoFi is an indoor-outdoor stadium. It has a roof, but opens on the sides, allowing air to pass through.

California will begin relaxing statewide indoor mask regulations for people who have been immunized, as omicron cases and hospitalizations are beginning to decline. However, each county’s health department has to decide and they have the right to see what they want to do by region.

Los Angeles County is waiting until coronavirus cases fall further before relaxing its mask regulations.

LA County public health officials released the latest coronavirus count on Sunday showing nearly 4,900 new cases and 58 deaths reported in the past 24 hours. More than 2,000 people were hospitalized with COVID.

In the Los Angeles area, health experts say they will be watching to see if there is an increase in COVID after the Super Bowl.
