As Thanksgiving approaches, the CDC offers the following guidelines for people planning to host family and friends during the holiday:
- Remind guests to stay home if they are sick.
- Arrange tables and chairs to allow for social distancing. People from the same household can be in groups together and don’t need to be 6 feet apart – just 6 feet away from other families.
- When guests arrive, minimize gestures that promote close contact. For example, don’t shake hands, do elbow bumps, or give hugs. Instead wave and verbally greet them.
- Wear masks when less than 6 feet apart from people or indoors.
- Make sure there is adequate soap or hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol available.
- Use single-use hand towels or paper towels for drying hands so guests do not share a towel.
