As an elected official in #NewtonMA where much of the @BostonCollege campus is located, this video upsets me. @BCFootball players do not live in a bubble. #COVID19 is real and deadly but clearly no one here cares about that. @NewtonMAMayor @NewtonHealth https://twitter.com/bcfootball/status/1310037084451860482">https://twitter.com/bcfootbal...

Gyms and common areas where student-athletes and staff are likely to congregate ... but even low-risk populations should consider minimizing time spent in crowded environments.
