Having a Thanksgiving celebration this weekend? KFL&A Public Health suggests you follow these guidelines to protect loved ones – and especially older relatives – from COVID-19:
- Recommended: Visit virtually instead of in person.
-
If you intend to meet people from outside your household:
- stay local (within the KFL&A region).
- meet with as few people as possible.
- stay outdoors as much as possible.
- bring your own food.
- maintain a physical distance of 2 metres from those outside your household.
- wear a face-covering if you cannot not maintain a 2 metre distance (indoors and out).
See KFL&A Public Health's Predictions for the Potential Impact of Thanksgiving in the KFL&A Region.
