Keep your friends and family healthy

Here is a short list of things to remember when it comes to gathering together in the time of COVID-19:

So, while a Zoom happy hour might be your safest choice, an outdoor barbecue with one other family, with the chairs set up six feet apart, where the hand sanitizer flows freely, and everyone goes home early, is a less risky option, as far as these things go.

The need to stay six feet apart will be with us through at least Phase 4, so you may as well set up your yard or gathering place to accommodate it. Arrange the chairs so they are at least six feet apart. Consider outdoor games and activities for the kids that don’t involve wrestling or blowing bubbles into each other’s faces. You generally don’t have to touch each other when you are jumping rope, playing catch, doing a bean bag toss, or using sidewalk chalk.

Think of creative ways to greet your friends and say goodbye that don’t involve close contact. Maybe an “air hug”? Or try a great big smile and an enthusiastic, “I’m not touching you, but I’m so glad to see you!”

Part of the joy of a potluck is sharing everyone’s cooking, but remember to share and taste while keeping your germs to yourself! Make sure everyone uses their own cup and dishes and uses utensils to grab some chips. Don’t share drinks, plates, or utensils. And when in doubt, go wash your hands again.

And, of course, everyone needs to wash their hands for 20 seconds when they arrive, before they eat, and just before they leave. Keep hand sanitizer readily available and use it any time you have been touching shared hard surfaces and before touching your face.

Time with friends and family is precious and important for our physical and mental health. Enjoy it. And protect each other by keeping your distance, wearing a cloth face covering indoors, and keeping your hands clean.
