If you long to see loved ones or dip your toes in the sand, you’re not alone.
It’s been over a year since the pandemic locked down most of the U.S., and despite guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to avoid nonessential travel, more Americans are now on the go â booking flights and planning vacations.
And whether you’ve been vaccinated or not, there are strategies that can reduce the risks of COVID-19 if you do plan to get away.
The CDC recently changed its guidelines to greenlight small gatherings between people who’ve been vaccinated and those who haven’t. So now, many older adults â who were first in line for vaccination â feel a newfound freedom to visit their friends, children and grandchildren.
But what if your loved ones live a plane ride or car trip away?
See here for some tips to minimize risk.
