The Latest: Chiefs required to keep fan health data:
Contact tracers are not permitted to ask if a person has been at a “mostly peaceful protest” but must ask if they have been at an NFL game. Oooookay.
Fans to be Covid tracked! Good enough reason to stay away from game day.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Latest from the opening game of the NFL season between the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans (all times local):
6:30 p.m.
The Kansas City Chiefs will be required to keep a record of fans in suites and whoever purchased blocks of tickets in the stands for their game Thursday night so that contact tracing can be done in the event of an outbreak.
Michelle Pekarsky of the Kansas City Health Department also said disease investigators will question anybody they interview for 2 1/2 weeks after the game whether they were in attendance.
Public health officials believe those measures will help to quickly identify whether Arrowhead Stadium was the cause of a COVID-19 outbreak.
“This record should help us accomplish more, more quickly,” Pekarsky said.
