CDC Releases Updates on Community Levels of COVID-19 and Holiday Celebrations

Higher levels of COVID-19 cases and community spread in the gathering location, as well as where attendees are coming from, increase the risk of infection and spread among attendees. Family and friends should consider the number and rate of COVID-19 cases in their community and in the community where they plan to celebrate when considering whether to host or attend a holiday celebration. Information on how to safely celebrate the holidays can be found on the CDC webpage. Please share this information with your staff and any family members asking to take residents out for holiday gatherings.  Staff, resident, and family education is crucial to keeping COVID out of your building.
