Avoid large and small gatherings in private places and public spaces, such a friend’s house, parks, restaurants, shops, or any other place. This advice applies to people of any age, including teens and younger adults. Use alternate virtual methods when available. When in person meetings are necessary, attendees should nod, bow, or wave instead of holding or shaking hands, hugging, or kissing anyone who does not live in their household. Consider modified meeting arrangements, such as limiting attendance to a small number of immediate family members and friends; and then holding additional gatherings when social distancing guidelines are less restrictive. Consider holding gatherings in a large, well-ventilated area or outdoors, as circumstances and traditions allow. Key words: Social distancing, physical distancing, mass gatherings, flatten the curve, play dates, funeral, infection precautions
