From trick-or-treating to holiday travel and gathering with friends and family, there are suggestions to make the holidays as safe as possible.
Also, for people handing out candy, consider protective measures. For example, Wu said,"you can reassure your trick-or-treaters by wearing masks that you have their safety in mind."
"Just like layering up our clothes in cold weather, you can layer up your protections against COVID." "I really do think it's important to see your family, particularly the frail ones who have not been able to get out," Wu added."So I would just encourage folks to enjoy themselves, but to take advantage of as many layers as they can."If you are planning to travel for the holidays, Wu recommended getting vaccinated if you are eligible. Also, research the COVID-19 requirements at home and where you’re going in advance.
"This is an exciting time because so many of us have family and friends who've been unable to visit us," Wu said."Let's be good hosts and let's welcome our visitors by getting vaccinated."And speaking of being a good host, if you are planning a holiday party or get-together,"plan your events so that they are safe and then people can enjoy themselves comfortably," Wu said.
