D7390 Safety Committee Tips for Safe Gatherings
As COVID-19 hospitalizations surge locally and nationally, the Centers for Disease Control and our local healthcare providers urge us to approach holiday gatherings in a different way this year. The greatest risk for contracting COVID-19 are indoor gatherings with anyone that is not part of your immediate household. “Immediate” is defined as those who routinely live together. For more details visit: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/holidays.html Another great local resource is a recorded webinar hosted by Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center on the state of COVID-19 in our area and how to be safe during the holidays. Go here to listen: https://youtu.be/DLTAxu73kUk.
