PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — We are just 12 months removed from a world with limited protection against COVID-19. We are still not in the clear, but we are in a far better place than last holiday season.
However, there are certain steps you can take that will definitely make things even safer.
One simple step is to wash your hands. This helps prevent the spread of COVID-19, flu and numerous other infections.
Also during the holiday season, try to avoid or limit drinking alcohol, and if you do not, make sure that you are not going to drive after drinking.
Another very important thing to remember is to try to limit your stress. It is very easy to get overwhelmed. Things are never perfect, and perhaps the greatest gift for you and your family is the knowledge that we are making great strides in the pandemic and are closer to achieving a greater sense of normalcy.
