Lessons from the Seattle Seahawks’ COVID-free season
Today is the big game — a familiar tradition that brings out the football fan in all of us. While we wish we could be cheering on the Seahawks, our home-state team has something far greater to celebrate.
The Seahawks finished the season without a single case of COVID-19. They’re the only NFL team to achieve this milestone. The Seahawks, who were this year’s division champions, are used to impressing fans on the field. But achieving a feat of this nature was the season’s biggest challenge.
So, before we tune into Sunday’s game, let’s first reflect on the Seahawks' greatest win — and the lessons we can all learn from it. Read more in this blog post from the Washington State Department of Health.
Learn more about the precautions, including the friendly competition Coach Carroll set with his players, in this video.
