With the upcoming holidays, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued Thanksgiving
guidance along with California Department of Public Health’s Tips for a Healthier Holiday Season. Individual
actions affect our whole community. It is important to consistently practice prevention measures that help
limit the spread of COVID-19. Avoid gatherings, especially where people are not keeping distance or
wearing face coverings. Avoid mixing with others outside your household. Individuals may be contagious
before symptoms of COVID-19 are present. Outdoors is safer than indoors. Persons over age 65 and those
with chronic health conditions that put them at higher risk for severe COVID-19 are encouraged to stay
home as much as possible. Avoid unnecessary travel. Stay home if you are sick even with mild symptoms.
If you have been directed to isolate or quarantine, please follow all instructions.
