Government agencies tell Americans: Downsize Thanksgiving, mask up around family if not vaxxed
Fox News
State and local governments are warning that Americans could spread COVID-19 over Thanksgiving, and saying they should keep gatherings small to reduce risk.
Even people you trust the most can have the virus and not know it.
"Keep your gathering small. Avoid mixing with many different families," it says in its official Thanksgiving COVID guidance. "Don’t be afraid to ask about people’s vaccination status and recent risks before joining a Thanksgiving gathering."
"Wear face masks when gathering indoors with people not from your household, except when eating and drinking." the Los Angeles County guidance continues. "Bring a mask to wear outside if the gathering is crowded, especially with people who are unvaccinated or are at increased risk of severe disease."
