PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — If you are planning to vote in person but are concerned about COVID-19, the Infectious Disease Society of America has some tips.

They have released a short guide of what people should keep in mind while voting in person.

In addition to masking and distancing, they suggest making documentation you might need easily available so you don't have to spend time searching for it.

Follow any markings for entering or exiting a booth or room, and avoid bringing unnecessary people to the poll, such as children who aren't voting and can be left at home with another adult.
