Dr. Christina Madison discusses the importance of wearing masks this holiday season
We’ve been hearing it for months. “Don’t gather in large groups.” “Keep grandma away for the holidays.” Even “Perhaps people shouldn’t celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas at all.”
These sentiments aren’t to spoil peoples’ fun. They’re to keep people safe. To date, more than 10-million Americans have tested positive for COVID-19, with more than a quarter-million deaths. No doubt, this holiday season will look a little different than in years past. But even with the alarming statistics, people will still gather in households nationwide to celebrate. And safety needs to be at the top of the list so the holidays don’t turn tragic.
Experts agree that masks are essential to curb the Coronavirus from spreading, but not all masks are created equal. Some hardly offer any protection. And some people are simply wearing them incorrectly.
