"As cases, hospitalizations, and deaths continue to increase across the United States, the safest way to celebrate the winter holidays is to celebrate at home with people who live with you.
Gatherings with family and friends who do not live with you can increase the chances of getting or spreading COVID-19 or the flu." Read more at:
