Press release from the City of Cupertino: November 23, 2020 The joint recommendations from Health Officials in Santa Clara County advise the public that if you gather in person, keep it small, short, stable, and outdoors. Nonessential travel, including holiday travel, is not recommended. Travel outside the Bay Area will increase your chance of getting infected and spreading the virus to others after your return. For those who are traveling, there are tips to help avoid catching COVID-19 or spreading it to fellow travelers. If you travel outside the Bay Area, it is strongly recommended that you self-quarantine for 14 days after your return if your activities while traveling put you at a higher risk of getting COVID-19.

Celebrate Without Gathering: The safest way to celebrate this holiday season is virtually or with members of your household. Gathering with people outside your household – even extended family – increases the risk of getting and spreading COVID-19. There are many ways to enjoy the holidays with loved ones without gathering: Enjoy holiday traditions at home with your household Decorate your home and/or yard Share a virtual meal with family and friends Host online parties and/or contests Prepare meals using traditional recipes and deliver to family and neighbors Attend holiday movie nights at drive-in venues Visit holiday-themed outdoor art installations Participate in drive-by events where everyone stays in their vehicles This press release was produced by the City of Cupertino.
