Staying Safe This Holiday Season

The U.S. has seen an uptick in COVID-19 cases this fall and experts are warning people to take extra precautions over the holidays. Here are some low-risk ways you can still celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday:

Planning

• Buy groceries online and get them delivered

• Instead of going to the mall for black Friday, buy gifts online

• If you really feel the need to invite family or friends over, ask that they quarantine for 14 days prior to joining your celebration and potentially get tested within 48 hours of arriving

Celebrating

• Limit your gathering to immediate family members in your household

• FaceTime or Zoom extended relatives

• Cook meals for family members/friends and drop them off at their doorstep

• Plan a safe outdoor activity like visiting a pumpkin patch or a safely distanced picnic

• Host a virtual dinner party
