How Seniors Can Safely Celebrate the 2020 Holiday Season

Minimize Exposure

Reducing the risk of exposure is crucial when celebrating with others. There are several ways to simplify gatherings and limit potential methods of transmission. Instead of a potluck-style meal, consider having one designated person prepare and serve the food. If possible, opt for contactless food delivery as an alternative. It is also important to avoid physical contact such as hugs and handshakes, and ensure that everyone consistently washes their hands.


Traveling Safely During the Holidays: Consider Personal Vehicles

When it comes to minimizing the risk of virus exposure during holiday travel, public transportation may not be the safest option, even if everyone on board wears masks. To ensure a safer journey, it is advisable to consider traveling by personal vehicles that have been thoroughly cleaned and sanitized beforehand.

While traveling in your personal vehicle, it is still important to take necessary precautions, especially when making stops for bathroom breaks or refueling. To protect yourself and others, consider wearing gloves or using disinfecting wipes when touching gas pumps, door handles, or any other frequently touched surfaces.
