‘TIS THE SEASON TO GIVE
This holiday season needs to be different. The safest way to celebrate indoors is only with the people who live in your home. People who live alone can get together only with one other home. Gatherings with friends and extended family can carry an increased risk of getting and spreading COVID-19. Consider celebrating outdoors or virtually with others that are not part of your household.
