How to Protect Yourself and Your Family From COVID-19 This Holiday Season

It feels like it’s been a long time since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and everyone is anxious to get back to a “normal” life with large family gatherings and holiday festivities. But before you pull out the extra folding chairs, consider some safety tips offered by Florida Department of Health in Broward County.

  • If inside, open doors and windows
  • Wear a mask
  • Stay 6 feet apart
  • Wash your hands frequently 

 DON’T 

  • Attend gatherings if you are sick, in isolation or quarantine
