This #NewYearsEve, please continue to #staysafe and only celebrate with members of your own household. If you do attend a small gathering, you should socially distance, wear a mask and wash your hands often. And stay home if you’re sick. https://www.trinityhealthma.org//celebrate-the-winter-holi

FACT: COVID-19 vaccines will not cause you to test positive on #COVID19 viral tests You won’t test positive on viral tests used to see if you have a current infection after getting the vaccine. However, some antibody tests might show you had a previous COVID-19 infection. This is because your body develops an immune response to the vaccine. Experts are currently looking at how vaccination may affect antibody testing results. Learn more about COVID-19 testing: https://www.cdc.gov//2019-nc/symptoms-testing/testing.html

This year's #Halloween celebrations will be different. But you can still plan a fun time with your family. Door to door trick-or-treating is a high risk activity. Groups of children reaching into a communal candy bowl is not a good idea. If you are giving out candy, it's a good idea to place treats in small bags (Plastic baggies will do) and place on a table or fence at the end of your driveway or walkway. Children can take a bag and move on to the next house. #trickortreat #covid19 Learn more about safer ways to have trick-or-treating fun on our website: trinityhealthma.org//hel/have-fun-stay-safe-this-halloween
