PLAN A SAFE HOLIDAY OR CELEBRATION The safest way to celebrate or enjoy the holidays is with members of your immediate household. Your household is anyone who currently lives and shares common spaces in your housing unit. This can include family members as well as roommates or people who are unrelated to you. If you live alone, consider exclusively celebrating with one additional household as a safe way to spend the holidays.
You may be planning to take part in a holiday celebration with people outside your immediate household. If so, check with the local Public Health Authority for gathering size limits in your community. This will help you decide if you should postpone, cancel or change your plans.
