How should physical distancing and other safety measures against COVID-19 factor into typical Memorial Day activities like cookouts and swimming pools? Tips from public health experts:
Personal risk depends on personal risk tolerance as well, Allen emphasized. Some people will feel more hesitant and concerned about joining others for an event, and it’s important to acknowledge and understand people’s personal preferences, he said. Rather than arguing with or taunting others, this “gradual reopening” will take a degree of cooperation, communication and trust.
“Go out, wear a mask, stay 6 feet away from anyone so you have the physical distancing, and go out.” #CNNTownHallhttps://t.co/VmYxwv4ftTpic.twitter.com/0iuWlZb4qDWithout a doubt, this summer will not be like most summers. To safely kick it off on Memorial Day weekend, everyone needs to use common sense as they make plans. Take it slow. Keep it small. Continue to use safe COVID-19 practices, such as maintaining physical distance, wearing masks and washing your hands often.
“People are getting frustrated about not seeing friends and family, and it’s important to start venturing out a little bit,” she said. “But try to keep it contained and follow safety protocols.”Barbecues and cookouts seem like a great idea this weekend, especially if everyone can maintain distance and handle their own items. One person should do the food preparation, and everyone should serve themselves. Use tongs or silverware instead of sticking your hand in a bag of chips, for instance.
Of course, the biggest concern with parks and campgrounds is preventing crowds. Parks may need to limit the numbers of people who can enter, and the responsibility of physical distancing will fall on those who are in the parks.
