Winter Safe Activities

If you want to spend time with people who don’t live with you, outdoors is the safer choice! You are less likely to be exposed to COVID-19 during outdoor activities, even without the use of masks. – CDC 

COVID spreads more easily indoors, in crowded areas, and when others aren’t wearing masks. In general follow COVID-19 best practices when participating in any activity that includes others that aren’t part of your household: 

• Wear a well-fitted mask that covers your mouth and nose; regardless of vaccination status 
• Stay 6 feet away from others 
• Avoid crowds 
• Wash or sanitize your hands often 

• Exercise at a fitness center 
• Walk around the mall  
• Attend a class at a yoga studio 
• Swim at your local pool or waterpark 
• Ice skate at an indoor rink 
• Eat inside at a restaurant 
• Watch movies with friends 
• Have a game night 
• Bake and decorate cookies with friends 
• Chat with friends at a local coffee shop 
• Watch a movie at a theater 
• Watch a musical performance or play 
• Attend a sporting event or concert 
• Shop during peak times and holidays 
• Visit Santa at the mall
