As we kick off the holiday season with Halloween this weekend, be vigilant about wearing masks in all situations outside of your household bubble. If you’re eating or drinking and need to remove your mask, do it outdoors and at a distance. Dr. Chris Ohl explained that small gatherings in homes and at work, often with food, are at the center of the recent outbreak. Call the clinic at 743.223.4217 with any questions about how to travel and celebrate safely this holiday season.
