Houston rodeo marks the start of ‘a new normal’ — and it’s time for fun, health experts say

Houston Chronicle, February 24, 2022

“We are going to have to live with COVID for a while, and I believe that people should be able to establish a new ‘normal’ and enjoy their lives,” said Dr. M. Kristen Peek, interim dean of the School of Public and Population Health at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. “The Houston Livestock and Rodeo Show is an important part of Houston that people go and enjoy — just do it safely.” After reviewing the rodeo’s eight-page document containing its COVID health protocols, Peek said the added precautions looked appropriate. She said she is looking forward to attending the rodeo with her family. “We will definitely be masked,” she said.
