Celebrating Thanksgiving

Posted: 10 months ago

This Thanksgiving, stay safe for the health of your friends and family.

The safest way to celebrate Thanksgiving is to celebrate at home with the people you live with. Gatherings with family and friends who do not live with you can increase the chances of getting or spreading COVID-19.

Thanksgiving Activities

Travel may increase your chance of getting and spreading COVID-19. Postponing travel and staying home is the best way to protect yourself and others this year.
Celebrating virtually or with the people you live with is the safest choice this Thanksgiving.
Host a virtual Thanksgiving meal with friends and family who don’t live with you.
Safely prepare traditional dishes and deliver them to family and neighbors in a way that does not involve contact with others (for example, leave them on the porch).

Everyone Can Make Thanksgiving Safer

Wear a mask with two or more layers to help protect yourself and others from COVID-19.
Stay at least six feet away from others who do not live with you.
Remember that people without symptoms may be able to spread COVID-19 or flu.
Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
Keep hand sanitizer with you and use it when you are unable to wash your hands.
