Kaiser Permanente Suggests Safety Measures for the Holiday Weekend!

As we head into this holiday weekend, it will be tempting to join family and friends in summer celebrations. Remember that COVID-19 is still here. It's spreading in our communities - we see it in rising numbers of COVID-19 patients at our medical centers

The 4th of July this year will be a little different. As health care providers, we know the best way to reduce exposure to COVID-19 is to avoid gatherings altogether. If you can't, follow the guidance below to minimize risk and keep you, your family, and your loved ones healthy:

• Keep your celebration small and maintain social distance from people outside your household.
• Stay outside. Cancel gatherings if the weather doesn't cooperate
• Protect each other by wearing a mask or face covering over your nose and mouth. Simple face coverings significantly reduce corona virus spread, even if you don't have symptoms.
• Avoid communal food. Consider single serving snacks to reduce the spread of the virus.
• Provide liquid soap and paper towels or alcohol-based hand sanitizer to support good hand hygiene.

This is a critical time. Our actions can make a big difference in keeping each other healthy.
