Video: The gift of a healthy Thanksgiving
A physician’s perspective on connecting with loved ones, while staying safe
Dr. Katherine Dallow offers her perspective on ensuring our loved ones stay safe, as Thanksgiving approaches and coronavirus rates spike across the country.
“Holidays are a time to gather with extended family, and share meals and make memories,” Dallow says. “But this year, the kindest thing we can do for far-off loved ones is connect by phone or video or maybe for a walk outdoors, wearing masks.”
COVID-19 spreads easily indoors, especially during meals and conversation.
And we are seeing high rates of infection all across the country.
Missing one Thanksgiving together, is a small price to pay to keep us healthy.
