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 if you’re eligible, including boosters for recommended groups.
- 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. Results take 1-3 hours for a rapid antigen test, and 24-72 hours for a saliva PCR test.
- 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/socially distanced activities where possible, especially if you’re getting together with multiple households, multiple generations, unvaccinated people, or people in high-risk groups.
