Description

Un mensaje especial por Thanksgiving de la Presidenta de la Junta del Condado de Arlington, Libby Garvey, con maneras creativas para disfrutar esta festividad de manera segura.

A

Hi. thanksgiving is my personal favorite holiday.. I love reconnecting with dozens of family members.

A

Spanning three generations, but not this year. covid-19 cases are rising and we all need to.

A

Think about how to modify our plans to make for a safer holiday.. Now we know covid spreads mostly in.

A

The air, when people breathe. think about how you can see your breath on a cold day., it goes far. or.

A

The great smell of turkey roasting in the oven, or the smell of smoke, if you burnt it a little bit.

A

Think about how far and how easily those smells can spread. that's how easily covid-19 spreads.

A

And this is why it's so important that we all continue to wear a mask and stay at least six.

A

Feet away from others who don't live with us. and it's the safest way to help celebrate thanksgiving.

A

This year, think about it, is to stay home., traveling or gatherings with family and friends.

A

Whom you may love, but who don't live with? You increases the chances of covid-19 spreading.

A

No one wants their loved ones to get sick, so no travel for me and my family, this year., but.

A

There are still plenty of creative ways to celebrate. Together. You can have a virtual.

A

Thanksgiving reunion., you can even share food, just make it at home and then safely deliver it and go.

A

Back home. now, for me, cooking, is so much more fun with family and friends, but this year we'll cook.

A

Together virtually., I suspect, we'll still argue about the best way to cook the turkey,. We've been.

A

Doing it for decades, and we'll argue about how to make nana's green beans just the way she did.

A

And, of course, after all, the cooking there's the main event eating. so eating together.

A

Virtually is best. if you must be with people who are not part of your household bubble,,.

A

Consider eating outside, or on an open, porch, or inside, but with the windows open, or. However, you.

A

Can ensure good air circulation., make it a small gathering and still keep at least six feet apart.

A

I know this all sounds a little strange and certainly different, but it also sounds like.

A

The way to keep those I care about the most and myself safe. so this year, we'll create new family.

A

Memories with a little bit of planning., everybody can stay well and safe. This holiday., even with.

A

The pandemic, there is a lot to be thankful, for., so have a happy and safe thanksgiving.
