Celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday will need some adjustments this year to keep everyone safe. Covid-19 cases are rising in California and across the country. Both the State and CDC have created guidelines to help you plan a safer holiday celebration.
This new Los Angeles Times article provides up to date information on the latest cases in California.
Take a look at the following information from the COVID-19 CA website. You can also visit the CDC website for safety guidance.
Tips for a Healthier Holiday Season
To keep yourself and your loved ones safe, follow the guidelines for small gatherings. Here are some extra tips on how to celebrate the holidays more safely.
- Check your county’s tier status to find out what types of activities and gatherings are permitted in your county based on the current spread of the virus. (Los Angeles County remains in the Purple Tier).
- Wear a mask in public settings, like on public and mass transportation, at events and gatherings, shopping and in stores, and anywhere you will be around people who do not live with you.
- Wear a mask not only with people you do not know, but with anyone you don’t live with including close friends and family.
- Keep your distance – especially from older family members and those with chronic health conditions.
- Do not gather indoors with other households if your county prohibits it.
- If you are in a county where indoor gathering is permitted, when indoors, keep windows and doors open so fresh air circulates and wear a mask.
- If you are in a county where indoor gathering is permitted, use all the space you can indoors; spread things out.
- Don’t share utensils or drinks with anyone.
- Commit to keeping gatherings short, whether inside or outside. Shorter is safer.
- People at higher risk of severe illness or death from COVID-19 (such as older adults and people with chronic medical conditions) are strongly urged not to attend any gatherings, especially indoor gatherings. If you gather with older people or those with chronic conditions, make sure they wear a surgical or N95 mask.
- It is safest to celebrate the holidays with the people who already live with you, but if you invite others, only invite a maximum of two other households to your gathering.
- Travel increases your chance of getting and spreading the virus. Incoming travelers from out of state should self-quarantine for 14 days after arrival before mixing indoors with others.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Stay home if you are sick.
By following the guidelines we will protect each other and have a much more wonderful holiday.

There’s plenty to be thankful for this year! I definitely agree with everyone that I’m thankful for the health of my family and myself, and still having the opportunity to be working during these times. I’ve thought about many of the little things I have taken for granted in the past (i.e. freely spending time with family, not stressing about being too close to others, etc) and it has made me feel extra thankful that I can still spend time with my loved ones. Lastly, I’m thankful for everyone in CBC/FF, and how everyone is willing to lend a helping hand when needed. I hope everyone has a great and safe Thanksgiving!
