It's that time of year again. Flu season is upon us and the Holidays are right around the corner. With COVID-19 cases on the rise, we understand that celebrating the Holidays this year may produce a bit more stress than usual. Though we want everyone to have a fun and loving holiday season, your family's health is our number one priority. To help ease some of the stress and keep everyone safe, here are a few Do’s and Don’ts for this Holiday season, guided by the CDC:
Do:
- Promote social distancing by arranging tables and chairs accordingly (People from the same household do not need to be six feet apart from each other, just from other families)
- Get your flu shot before any gatherings (Contact our office to schedule an appointment)
- Clean and disinfect commonly touched surfaces
- Prioritize outdoor activities
- Check state restrictions if you plan to travel
- Keep in contact with loved ones who are not able to attend celebrations through phone or video calls.
Don’t:
- Attend gatherings if you have been exposed to COVID-19 in the last 14 days or are showing COVID-19 symptoms
- Share food or drinks with others
- Engage in close contact greetings, instead offer waves and verbal greetings
- Forget your mask! (for when social distancing becomes challenging)
We hope you all have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving weekend.
Enjoy the rest of your holiday season!
