Press release from the Town of Northborough:

November 24, 2020

The Northborough Health Department wishes everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and offers the following considerations from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to keep our friends, families and communities safe during COVID-19. If you host a holiday celebration, keep it small. If you are considering travel, be aware of Massachusetts travel orders. If you participate in a celebration, follow public health guidance.

Any time you’re near people you don’t live with:

• Wear a mask when not eating or drinking
• Wash your hands often with soap and water
• Stay at least six feet apart from others
• Consider if those around you may be at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19, such as older adults or those with certain medical conditions, and take extra precautions
• If gathering indoors, improve ventilation by opening windows and doors
