Stay at least 6 feet from others
Only dine (at home & at restaurants) with people who live with you
Keep Thanksgiving gatherings small – only have dinner for people who live in your house
Avoid indoor house parties – even outdoor ones if you’re not staying 6 ft apart and masked up!
Avoid spending time with people who don’t live with you (if you do, mask up, wash up, keep apart)
Wash or sanitize hands frequently
Don’t go to work if you are sick
Get tested for COVID-19 – you can, even those with no symptoms
