This holiday season, doctors urge
public to make safety a top priority
(StatePoint) With COV-
ID-19 infections at an all-time
high, medical experts urge the
public to make safety their
number one priority through
out the holiday season.
“Nearly a year into this pan
demic , people are yearning for
a return to normalcy. However,
COVID-19 cases are surging
and with flu season already
upon us, bringing together
people from different house
holds during the holidays is far
too great a safety risk,” says
Susan R. Bailey, M.D., presi
dent of the American Medical
Association (AMA).
During this unusual year,
the AMA is sharing top tips
for a safe and healthy holiday
season:
1. It may not be the way
you’re used to celebrating, but
consider limiting this year’s
gatherings to just the people
who live in your household.
2. If you live somewhere
warm, you may be able to add
a few people to your plans,
but only if your get together is
outdoors and safely physically
distant.
3. Take advantage of the
video conferencing technolo
gies available at your fingertips
to bridge the distance between
you and family or friends.
Whether it’s watching holiday
movies, unwrapping gifts or
sharing recipes together, many
of these traditions can still hap
pen virtually.
4. Interested in holiday deals
and discounts? Shop for bar
gains from home. And if you
must go to the store in person
and you’re at-risk, check ahead
of time to see if there are spe
cial hours for you.
5. Consider additional out
door activities that can bring
together other people in your
circle without the dangers of
dining inside. Go apple pick
ing, leaf peeping or hiking.
Think beyond the traditional
holiday activities and start new
traditions.
6. Disappointed that your
usual large dinner is for a
smaller group? You can still
cook a large meal and share
a portion with neighbors or
friends. The Centers for Dis
ease Control and Prevention
recommends “delivering them
in a way that doesn’t involve
contact with others.”
7. Continue to follow every
day safety guidelines to prevent
the spread of COVID-19: wash
your hands, maintain physical
distancing and #MaskUp.
More health resources, along
with tips to prevent the spread
of COVID-19, are available at
ama-assn.org.
“Missing holiday traditions
is difficult, but with top scien
tists and researchers working
round the clock to combat this
vims, I’m hopeful that by this
time next year, friends and
family will be together again,
one way or another,” says Dr.
Bailey.
Mr. Dennis Adams, age 54, of Millen, Geor
gia, entered into eternal rest on November 6,
2020. Arrangements will be announced at a
later date.
