Holiday Safe Travel Tips (+ training)

Holiday safety is an issue that peeks from late November to mid-January, when families gather, parties are scheduled, and holiday travel increases.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to protect adults and children, everyone who is eligible should get vaccinated. The CDC also urges people to delay travel until they are fully vaccinated. When gathering with people from multiple households, consider taking a COVID-19 test prior to the event to further reduce risk. And remember outdoor gatherings are safer than indoor ones.

Even those who are fully vaccinated should continue to wear masks indoors and avoid crowded spaces, if possible. Of course, anyone who has symptoms of illness should stay home.
