But if you are attending a gathering at someone else’s home outdoor parties are always safer than indoor ones.

They say generally you don’t need your mask at outdoor celebrations.

You should always wear a mask at indoor public places and indoor parties.

If you are hosting a party indoors, try opening a window and letting some fresh air in.

You can even use a fan to blow air out of the window so that more air comes in though open windows.

And as always, if you aren’t feeling well, stay home.
