With the upcoming holiday season, we want to remind every resident of the Health Department’s COVID-19 holiday guidance. The Health Department advises against holiday gatherings with those outside of your immediate household. Instead, consider holding virtual gatherings with family and friends, such as a virtual holiday dinner. Also, if you plan to do any holiday shopping, consider shopping online rather than in person.
