City of Manhattan Beach issued the following announcement on Nov 25.
The City of Manhattan Beach wishes everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving. As you celebrate the holiday, residents are encouraged to reduce risk and plan smaller, shorter, and safer celebrations. Here are some tips to follow:
- Wear a face covering in public settings, at events and gatherings, shopping and in stores, and anywhere you will be around people who do not live with you.
- Wear a face covering not only people you do not know but also with anyone you do not live with, including close friends and family.
- Keep your distance – especially from older family members and those with chronic health conditions.
- When indoors, keep windows and doors open so fresh air circulates and wear a face covering.
- Use all the space you can indoors; spread things out.
- Do not share utensils or drinks with anyone.
- Commit to keeping gatherings short, whether inside or outside. Shorter is safer.
- People at higher risk of severe illness or death from COVID-19 (such as older adults and people with chronic medical conditions) are strongly urged not to attend any gatherings, especially indoor gatherings. If you gather with older people or those with chronic conditions, make sure they wear a surgical or N95 mask.
- It is safest to celebrate the holidays with the people who already live with you, but if you invite others, only invite a maximum of two other households to your gathering.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or use hand sanitizer. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Stay home if you are sick.
