How to Keep Your Family and Community Safe this Thanksgiving
Holiday Closures
In observance of the winter holidays, the City of Boulder is adjusting its operations schedules.
Traditional holiday gatherings with family and friends are fun, but with COVID-19 cases continuing to spike in Colorado, it is critical that our community remains vigilant during the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.
Here are some tips for a safer Turkey Day:
- Get vaccinated: Protect those not yet eligible for vaccination such as young children by getting yourself and other eligible people around them vaccinated.
- Keep gatherings small: Consider limiting to just people that live in your household.
- Host outdoors: If weather allows, host an outdoor gathering. Outdoors is safer than indoors.
- Go virtual: Host a virtual Thanksgiving meal with friends and family who don’t live with you.
- Mask up: Wear a face mask and keep your distance while grocery shopping for your Thanksgiving feast.
- If you are sick or have symptoms, don’t host or attend a gathering.
Recently, Governor Polis broadly approved COVID-19 boosters for distribution in Colorado. Because COVID-19 is spreading quickly throughout the state, Colorado is considered a high-risk place to live right now. Anyone who is 18 or older who would like to get a booster and is due for one should make a plan to get one.
