Two national surveys issued one year apart found that despite growing vaccination rates, many Americans are still taking extra precautions this year.
The study released this week by The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center found that:
- About 1/2 of Americans will ask their guests to wear masks, compared to 67% a year ago
- Nearly 3/4 say they will likely only celebrate with members of their household
- Half of the survey's respondents say they‘ll ask about guests’ vaccination status.
- 46% will require unvaccinated guests to test negative for COVID before attending a gathering.
