By now, you probably heard of the recent spike the city of Chicago has undergone in COVID-19 cases. Sources are saying the reason for this increase is the social gatherings amongst close family and friends. People have been attending these parties and still testing positive for the virus from their loved ones. Some of them have been attending without masks and not social distance at all. Now I know it’s been mentioned before in my blog. But we must continue to protect ourselves, even when around close family members.
Show Love to your Family just like a Perfect Stranger
It could be an easy tendency for us to get a little comfortable around our own family. But we are still in the middle of a pandemic and must continue to follow the protocol. If you love your parent or relative, you will wear a mask and social distance when you have to visit them. When you’re at work, more than likely you strive to wear your mask and maintain a safe distance from your fellow employees. Why not do the same with your loved ones? It will be the most loving act you will have ever shown to them.
Resist Letting Your Guard Down at all Times
We must continue to protect our immune system as well as the immune system of others. Just because we are around our family at these parties doesn’t mean that it’s okay to remove our masks. Wash your hands and continue to social distance when you’re around them. Personal hygiene should still be a top priority for you and your loved ones.
This increase in cases is due to an influx of social gatherings being held where people are not doing these things. It’s also notable to bring out that people between the ages of 18-29 are mostly being hit by this increase. We must do better to slow down this virus. Your mask is your guard. Don’t let your guard down even at family gatherings.
