experts say a safe Thanksgiving during a pandemic is possible, but they know
their advice is tough to swallow.
According
to U.S. health officials, small household gatherings have contributed to the
rise in COVID-19 cases, but there's no need to cancel the holiday.
Spending
time with loved ones is important for health too.
Coronavirus
spreads more easily when people are crowded together inside, so experts encourage
new outdoor traditions, such as hiking as a family.
Guest
lists for indoor feasts should be small enough so people can sit six feet apart
while unmasked.
