Back to Basics for the Holidays!

As many of us wish the Pandemic were over or at least under control, unfortunately, this is not the case. The number of COVID cases have increased, significantly in just the past two weeks! Will we be spending the Holidays during a shutdown? As much as we want to be out at restaurants, malls, gatherings with Friends and Family, and be able to travel again. We must really take control and limit our exposure to the virus for our own safety. We have seen the saying “The pandemic isn’t over, just because you are.”

We truly believe that everyone has had it and with the stay at home orders, and we understand the economy has suffered tremendously, people have suffered tremendously due to the virus, but we must take this seriously. We were doing well at one point, and then we went backwards, and now face millions of cases arise by State! Holidays are a time to gather with those we love and the last thing we want to do is expose our loved ones to the virus.

We will not tell you what you can and can not do but simply inform you of the best way to practice proper hygiene and how to limit your exposure. Many people will still gather with their loved ones for the Holidays and some will stay at home away from family, all in which is one’s personal preference and it should be respected. If you plan on celebrating with Family and friends it will be a great idea to start your quarantine period now, Limit Exposure as much as possible.

So, Back to basics, shall we?
