Gatherings during COVID-19 are risky. Let's be sure everyone can be at the Thanksgiving table next year by taking extra care this year. Safest to celebrate with your household only. If there are guests, know they may be able to spread COVID-19 even if they look and feel fine. 1/5
To avoid COVID-19 being an uninvited guest at your Thanksgiving table, know that recent travel can lead to infection. Best to put off guests & homecomings until next year. If there must be guests, a 14-day quarantine before entering your home is safest way to reduce risk. 2/5
Keep gatherings small, ideally household members only. If there are guests, know it is risky for everyone. Outdoors much safer than indoors. The visit should be brief & masks worn indoors, even with distancing. To reduce risk, increase ventilation by opening windows & doors. 3/5
It's extra hard when we want to see & support one another at this tough time. But it will keep more of us healthy & alive for when the risk is lower & gathering safer in the future. Let's find other ways to connect for now & know that this will pass. For now, please be safe. 4/5
And finally, know that household members can spread COVID-19 if they've been exposed recently - even without knowing it. People exposed to COVID-19 should quarantine & be tested. Anyone with symptoms should isolate away from others & be tested. 5/5 https://www.kingcounty.gov/depts/health/covid-19/FAQ.aspx
