The 4th of July is just around the corner, friend!

But this year, it’s bound to look a little different. Though we’re all craving some normalcy and good times, *COVID-19 is still here.* We’ve seen recent spikes in cases across the country — so we must remain vigilant to protect ourselves, our loved ones, and our community. *
*
*The best way to stay safe is to celebrate at home.* If you do choose to go out, remember to listen to any information from the Center for Disease Control ( [link removed] ) and your local health agencies; and practice safety first. Here are some important reminders:

* *Wear a mask.* If your old mask broke or got lost, you can easily make a mask by using a star-spangled bandana (or any cloth) and some hair ties! *Here are instructions on how to do it.* ( [link removed] ) When everyone wears a mask, we can prevent spreading the virus by up to 80%.
* *Keep a safe distance.* Even as states ease stay-at-home orders, we must protect ourselves and our community by continuing to maintain six-feet from people who live in different households.
* *Avoid shared foods and shared surfaces.* We know the 4th isn’t the same without a cookout — while we encourage you to stay home, if you must, be sure to bring your own supplies and properly wipe down shared surfaces.
* *Wash your hands.* This is super important, especially if you’re eating. Wash long and wash often. If you’re away from running water, use hand sanitizer frequently.
* *Read more for specifics.* Whether you’re having a cookout, traveling to see people, or going to a park, *check out the CDC’s recommendations for all kinds of social activities.* ( [link removed] )

If you’re taking some needed time to rejuvenate, please remember that we all have a duty to keep one another safe. These guidelines aren’t just for your safety but for everyone’s.

Have a safe and happy 4th of July,
Team Tom
