Safer Ways to Observe Religious Holidays

Attending gatherings to observe religious and spiritual holidays increases your risk of getting and spreading COVID-19. The safest way to observe religious and spiritual holidays this year is to gather virtually, with people who live with you, or outside and at least 6 feet apart from others.

• Enjoy traditional meals with those who live with you.
• Practice religious holiday customs at home.
• Prepare and deliver a meal to a neighbor.
• Watch virtual religious and cultural performances.
• Attend religious ceremonies virtually.
• If you plan to celebrate with others, outdoors is safer than indoors.
