How to Gather Safely This Thanksgiving

Ask guests to be sure to reduce their contacts and potential exposures for at least a week. Wash your hands! And be sure to have paper towels in the bathroom so guests can avoid sharing the same towel.

Obviously, a fully vaccinated guest list is the safest way to go and experts agree that it’s perfectly reasonable for people to require their guests are vaccinated, especially if you have children too young or those who are compromised. We need to do our part to ensure this population stays safe.
