As the holidays approach, here is some information.

Know Before You Go:

Travel does increase your chance of getting and spreading of Covid-19. Staying home is the best way to protect yourself and others.

But here are some tips to keep in mind as you make plans for the holidays.

· Check the travel restrictions for the state you are going to. Do they require you to quarantine upon arrival? Or do you need a negative Covid-19 test before arrival? State requirements vary.

· Consider the number and rate of Covid-19 cases where you are going. This can change daily.

· The location of the gathering: Can you do it outside and/or can you limit the number of people indoors? Well ventilated places are the best.

· Keep It Short; longer gatherings do pose more risk of exposure.

· Keep gatherings small and know who is present at these gatherings.

· Make sure social distancing of 6 feet or more is maintained in a gathering, MASK Wearing and WASHING HANDS will help with overall prevention.

· Knowledge is your SUPER POWER!
