Thanksgiving Safety with COVID-19 in Mind

Thanksgiving is one week away!

This year, Thanksgiving may be different due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but there are still plenty of ways to celebrate safely.

Keeping ourselves, our loved ones and others safe comes first but you can still have a memorable Thanksgiving even with the pandemic. Utilize the tips below from the CDC to have a safe and happy Thanksgiving this year.

• Have a small dinner with only people in your household
• Have a virtual dinner with your extended family and friends
• Prepare food for family and friends and deliver it to them, without face-to-face contact
• If you are hosting a small gathering, follow the CDC’s guidelines for hosting gatherings
• Go shopping in off-peak hours or online in preparation for Thanksgiving
• Avoid the crowds for Black Friday and just participate in Cyber Monday
• If you plan on traveling, follow your state’s guidelines (Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa)
• If you are feeling sick, stay home

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and remember to #LiveSafety!
