But, with coronavirus around many are wondering how they can celebrate safely. Contributing to the topic here are 5 tips to host virus-free holiday gatherings.
1. In-house sanitation station
As a host, make sure to direct any guest to a designated space to thoroughly wash their hands with soap, utilized hand sanitizer, and drop in some face shields and face masks. Moreover, guests should take off their shoes and any jackets, scarves before getting out of the sanitation station.
2. Testing kit
Find a way to test your guests before they get in contact with your family. Actually, if you can afford a rapid testing kit it would be wonderful. But, if you can’t simply take their temperatures, request for a negative covid result of less than a week, and use your judgement.
3. Avoid hugs
Avoid any hugs, handshakes, kisses, or any actions that encourage body contact. Definitely, it is going to be a tough one, especially if you haven’t seen part of your family in a long time. But it is necessary.
4. Everything hot
Only eat and served hot food. No cold drinks if possible stick to hot tea and coffee. Prioritize well and thoroughly cooked food. That is because it is common knowledge that anything well cooked kills bacterias.
