Having a Safe Thanksgiving – 2020

by Nov 19, 2020

2020 has brought about some serious challenges, to say the least. With the surge of COVID-19, a national pandemic created problems across the United States, forcing us to change how we go about our daily lives. This has touched everything from curfews, wearing masks, mandates, and social distancing. Because of said complications, we’ve also had to change how we interact with people, friends and family.

Naturally, it puts a damper on traditional celebration plans. For many, their Thanksgiving is a different affair with Coronavirus around the corner. How best do we celebrate the holiday, and how do we keep things safe? As always, you should check with healthcare professionals like the CDC for their their best practices for holiday gatherings.

Here’s a few tips to keep in mind, accounting for how mobile storage pods are an unlikely solution.

Having a fun (and safe) 2020 Thanksgiving

Remember the basics

Now more than ever is the time to be safe. COVID-19 has only increased in infection rate for the fall, and that risk is due to many people staying indoors. Additionally, influenza is also a serious concern. These two compounded together can make for a nasty scenario nobody wants, especially during the holidays.

Therefore, always keep the basics of COVID-19 safety in mind (you’ll protect yourself from influenza as a bonus).

  • Wear masks and/or coverings
  • Make sure those attending your Thanksgiving gathering haven’t tested positive for COVID
  • Maintain social distancing as best as possible with new guests
