Recommended Safe Thanksgiving Guidelines

CDC Recommended Guidelines to consider for a safe COVID free Holiday:

“Celebrating virtually or with the people you live with is the safest choice this Thanksgiving.”

Thanksgiving has always been a time to appreciate family and friends and to reflect on things you are thankful for. This year should be no different. This should be the year above all other years to sit down and really appreciate these times with family and friends. Although we have been hoping for a better chance of keeping the same traditions and celebrating, the pandemic risk is on the rise with no chance of stopping. Like the pandemic healthcare providers are working overtime to keep on top of the demand, COVID 19 is still a very real and dangerous risk. Be careful this holiday season but also be sure your friends, loved ones and family know how much you love them.

Traveling for the Holidays

If you have to travel for the holiday, make sure you and your family are aware of the risks. Some communities are in higher risk than others and depending on how you travel can potentially put everyone in close proximity at risk. Here are some things to keep in mind while traveling this Thanksgiving.

  • Make sure to check any travel restrictions before you go.
  • It is best to be safe and get your flu shot before you travel.
  • Always wear a mask in public settings, especially when using public transportation, and when around people who you don’t live with.
  • Stay at least 6 feet apart from anyone who does not live with you.
  • Wash your hands often or use hand sanitizer.
  • Avoid touching your mask, eyes, nose, and mouth.
  • Bring extra supplies, such as masks and hand sanitizer.

  • Thanksgiving Gatherings

    Wearing masks have been proven to be effective in holding off the spread of germs and covid. When attending gatherings make sure to keep these in mind:

  • Have a small outdoor meal with family and friends who live in your community.
  • Limit the number of guests.
  • Have conversations with guests ahead of time to set expectations for celebrating together.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces and items between use.
  • If celebrating indoors, bring in fresh air by opening windows and doors, if possible. You can use a window fan in one of the open windows to blow air out of the window. This will pull fresh air in through the other open windows.
  • Limit the number of people in food preparation areas.
  • Have guests bring their own food and drink.
  • If sharing food, have one person serve food and use single-use options, like plastic utensils.
