Celebrating a Happy and Safe Holiday Season: Tips from the Cambridge Public Health Department
This year’s holiday season will be different. Due to the pandemic, many of us won’t be with family and friends as usual. But we can still celebrate! Keep in mind that the outlook for a more normal holiday season in 2021 is promising with a COVID-19 vaccine for the public on the horizon, and it is very likely that we’ll be able to celebrate the winter holidays in-person next year.
