Stay Well This Holiday Season!

1. Wash your hands.

- Regularly wash your hands with soap and clean running water for at least 20 seconds. Be thorough!

2. Consider the health of others when participating in gatherings of any size.

- Be proactive, wear a mask or stay home if you feel unwell.

3. Don't drink and drive.

- Think twice before getting behind the wheel after drinking, and consider alternative transportation options instead. This could include calling a rideshare service, arranging for a designated driver, or finding a place to stay for the night.

4. Practice fire safety.

In addition to practicing safe behaviors, it's also essential to be prepared for emergencies and unexpected situations. This could include having a first aid kit on hand, keeping a charged phone with you and knowing the location of the nearest hospital or emergency services.
