Description

Press release from the Borough of Paramus: November 18, 2020 Thanksgiving celebrations in the Borough of Paramus should be limited to an immediate household family or a small number of close relatives or friends this year. This would prevent your family celebration from turning into a COVID-19 outbreak. Avoid large holiday gatherings this year. General indoor gatherings must be limited to 10 people. Don't invite COVID-19 to your Thanksgiving dinner. Lower your risk by following CDCs recommendations: • Do not gather around the dining room table with anyone outside of your household • Have a small dinner with only people who live in your household • Have a virtual celebration with family and friends who do not live in your house • Shop online (rather than in person) and avoid crowds (at malls, etc.) • Bundle up and move celebrations outdoors (limit the number of close relatives/friends) • Watch sport events, parades, and movies from home • Don't travel during the holidays (travel increases the chance of getting/spreading COVID-19) • Stay home during the holiday season. It is the best way to protect yourself and others Take as many health actions as possible: wear a mask, engage in social distancing, wash your hands, stay home if you're ill, avoid anyone who is sick, and avoid touching your eyes/nose/mouth. Start planning your holiday now, plan for a smaller table this year, and scale back celebrations. Such measures ensure that you can once again gather at a larger celebration next year. Stay well and stay safe. This press release was produced by the Borough of Paramus. The views expressed here are the author's own.
