This is what you need to know about celebrating holidays safely this season. /1
"Delaware is seeing a surge in COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths. Cases are spreading most often during social gatherings when people eat, drink and chat with others who don’t live with them – without face coverings or keeping a safe and social distance." /2
"Which means this holiday season needs to be very different from those of years’ past in order for us to get this under control." /3

"From Thanksgiving to Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, family celebrations will have to look different this year. With everyone working together to make sure gatherings are safe, we will continue our fight to stop the spread of COVID-19." /4
"And in doing so, you and your loved ones can enjoy many of your cherished traditions, introduce fun new activities to your celebration, and create lasting memories." /5 #netDE
Recommendation #1 – Limit social gatherings — from meals to parties — to just those who live in your house.
The most effective way to protect those you love is to stay home — and encourage everyone to do the same. /6 #netDE @Delaware_DHSS

Recommendation #3 – College students and other young adults returning home should limit contact with others two weeks prior to your trip. /9
Recommendation #4 – Organize COVID-safe activities. Zoom – it’s not just for meetings anymore! Holiday potluck or sing-a-long anyone?
Recommendation #5 – Shop Safely. Whether for food or gifts, keep the following suggestions in mind.
--> Shop online sales.
--> Shop during hours fewer people will be in the store.
--> Use contactless services for purchased items, like curbside pick-up.
