PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Memorial Day weekend may not be totally normal this year, but think about how far we have come in 12 months.
Last year, in the teeth of the pandemic, Memorial Day was a stark reminder of what we were missing. Certainly, we are not over the hump, but the development of safe vaccines and the dramatic decrease in the number of cases allows us to have hope.
If you have been vaccinated, find a way to enjoy this weekend that is safe and comfortable for you. One clear message: You are definitely able to safely enjoy getting together with your family members who have also been vaccinated.
COVID-19 took precedence over other health safety tips last year, so in case you forgot: Don't forget to wear sunscreen at this year's picnic.
