• Limit outdoor social gatherings to three households with no more than 15 people, and stay six feet apart from anyone you don’t live with.
• Wear a mask at both indoor and outdoor gatherings.
• Stay at least six feet away from others.
• Gather in an area with good ventilation. If indoors, bring in fresh air by opening windows and doors, if possible.
• Cover coughs and sneezes, and wash or sanitize your hands often.

If you are sick, waiting for COVID-19 test results, or were in close contact of someone who has COVID-19, stay home and do not attend a social gathering.
