As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday if you are sick do not be around others, follow isolation and quarantine guidance if it has been provided to you.  In addition, try to have gatherings in larger, well-ventilated areas, clean and disinfect highly touched surfaces, use good hand hygiene, wear masks to help protect everyone you are around. If you get sick or find out you have been around someone who tested positive for COVID, it may be a good idea to get tested.
