For the upcoming Holiday Season, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CD) has issued recommendations to be followed. CDC says the best way to celebrate is virtual.

As Delta Variant of COVID-19 is still a concern for Americans, so the CDC saying it’s better to think about your friends and family’s safety, if you are not vaccinated. The agency also recommends getting COVID-19 vaccination if you are eligible.

The agency says that a harmless way to celebrate is by meeting outdoor in a socially distanced way and by celebrating with the people who live in the same house. If you are meeting indoor then the windows and doors should be kept for ventilation and everyone should wear a mask if lots of people are meeting.

They also suggest that outdoor activities are better than indoor gatherings. It’s not recommended to host or attend gatherings if you are sick or have symptoms of coronavirus.

They have also recommended that if you are unvaccinated then you should not travel by air. If you have not been fully vaccinated and traveling with the children, then you must travel by driving your own vehicle.

“It’s just too soon to tell. We’ve just gotta concentrate on continuing to get those numbers down and not try to jump ahead by weeks or months and say what we’re gonna do at a particular time,” Dr. Fauci said.

“Let’s focus like a laser on continuing to get those cases down and we can do it by getting people vaccinated,” Dr. Fauci went on to say.

The CDC also recommended having conversations with friends and family about plans ahead of time, so that everyone should get an idea of what to expect in this Holiday Season.
