Tips For A Safe Thanksgiving
Newsy
Last year’s Thanksgiving led to a spike in COVID cases and experts are worried that there could be another increase this holiday season.
An estimated 20 million people will be flying this holiday season according to the TSA. With more people getting together, what can we do to increase our odds of staying healthy in a pandemic and prevent more spreading of the virus?
"I think this year is going to be the most highly variable Thanksgiving celebrations that we've probably ever seen,” said Dr. Iahn Gonsenhauser, with the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
Compared to last year, CDC’s guidance is a bit more relaxed due to the availability of COVID vaccines. Still they recommend vaccinations and a booster shot for people who are able to do so, in order to protect others who can’t vaccinate: like children under 5 or others who are immunocompromised. Boosters also provide an added protection.
