We made it to the holidays, but will you get to celebrate with your family this year?

Before you decide whether to stay or go, the first step is to evaluate your needs and risks. Consider the following, what are the ages of the family members traveling, and where are you heading to? Older members have a higher risk, while younger members are more likely to carry COVID-19 asymptomatically.

Before gathering, get tested. While airlines have made sure planes are safe, airports and other passengers can be high-risk variables. If possible, driving is the safest option, and when it’s finally time to celebrate, be sure to stay outside or in well-ventilated areas. Always wear a mask and increase distance when eating. Consider having a best mask contest to make it more fun for everyone.

Also, it’s best not to stay in the same house. Consider doing an Airbnb or rental nearby.

to use the COVID-19 Event Risk Assessment Planning Tool to see if your plans for the holidays are “safe”.
