With the Thanksgiving weekend quickly approaching, experts say family gatherings should be held with the windows open and limited to vaccinated guests as the threat of the Delta variant continues to loom.
With the Thanksgiving weekend quickly approaching, many Canadians are preparing to host or attend gatherings with their friends and families.
But as the threat of the Delta variant looms, experts say hosts should proceed with caution and avoid having large, indoor gatherings with unvaccinated guests.
Dr. Andrew Morris, who is an infectious diseases specialist at Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital, says Canadians should consider moving their Thanksgiving dinner outdoors if possible.
"If you can get away with it because the weather's good enough, have an outdoor gathering. Or make your gathering as similar to outdoors as possible, meaning a lot of fresh air coming in and out of the home," he told CTVNews.ca on Monday.
