Don't Make This Your Home for the Holidays
|
|
As COVID-19 surges in LA County, the holidays are going to be different this year. Don't spend them in the ICU. Make sure to wear a mask, keep physical distance and avoid gatherings.
Please share this important message through your social channels:
Updated Holiday Gathering Guidance
|
|
The Department of Public Health has updated it's holiday gathering recommendations and stated that it is best to stay home and celebrate only with people who live in your household. Connect with friends and family you don’t live with using all of the technology that allows us to see and hear each other from afar. Other safe options include decorating your home inside and out and enjoying a drive around neighborhoods seeing others’ decorations. Please always think about your risk of being exposed in any situation – staying with only people you live with and visiting others virtually is the safest way to celebrate right now.
The fewer people you and your household have in-person contact with, the lower your risk of getting COVID19.
