Attending gatherings to celebrate events and holidays increases your risk of getting and spreading COVID-19. The safest way to celebrate this year is virtually, with people who live with you, or outside and at least 6 feet apart from others. Safer ways to celebrate include the following.

• Decorate your home with holiday themed items and banners.
• Host a video chat party with family and friends to share in the celebration.
• Plan a special meal inspired by the holiday or event.
• Have an outdoor celebration with everyone at least 6 feet apart and wearing masks.
• Watch virtual events and celebrations.

If you plan to celebrate with others, outdoors is safer than indoors. Travel may increase your chance of spreading and getting COVID-19. If you travel, you should still take steps to protect yourself and others.
