PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — The weather is improving and this summer, more than ever, I recommend that you get outside to clear your head and to begin to safely socialize.
There is no way to eliminate the presence of the virus, but the rate of spread is definitely reduced in wide open spaces and outdoors.
For instance, if members of your family have been social distancing and you want to bring the family together for a gathering, you can spread out outside and socially distance but still enjoy the conversations and fun we used to take for granted.
Clearly, it’s impossible to wear a mask while eating, but eating outside makes it far safer to enjoy a meal together.
