Safety measures are critical if you must host an ill-advised Thanksgiving crowd

The CDC has strongly advised everyone to stay home this Thanksgiving. By celebrating only with the people you live with, you can limit the spread of SARS-CoV-2 which is accelerating around the country at the fastest rate yet, and protect yourself, your family and those living in your community.

However, it’s clear, as we saw images of packed airports this past weekend, that many people will disregard this guidance and gather this Thursday or the days that follow with extended family and friends. For these get-togethers, there are ways to lower the risk.
