Holiday traditions are important for families and children. However, COVID-19 continues to spread at high levels across the state. As we head into the second holiday season of the pandemic, take these steps for safer in-person gatherings:
- Get vaccinated, including boosters.
- Lay low before you go. Avoid crowded settings for a couple weeks beforehand.
- Get tested a few days prior to gathering, either at a testing site or through the at-home testing program. 
- Stay home if you have symptoms or if you test positive for COVID-19.
- Use multiple layers of protection. Wear a mask in crowded settings and stick to outdoor or socially distanced activities when possible, especially if you’re getting together with multiple households, multiple generations, unvaccinated people, or people in high-risk groups.
- If you may have been exposed to COVID-19, follow these recommendations for quarantine and testing: https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/coronavirus/close.html
