The best way to minimize COVID-19 risk and keep your family and friends safer during gatherings is to get vaccinated (individuals ages 5 and older are eligible).

Celebrating Safely

• Protect those not yet eligible for vaccination, such as children under the age of 5, by getting yourself and other eligible people around them vaccinated and boosted (if eligible).
• You may wear a mask anytime in Prince George’s County, but masks are required on public transportation, in public schools, and in businesses that choose to require them. 
• If you have household or social contact with someone at high risk for severe disease, consider self-testing to detect infection before contact and consider wearing a mask when indoors with them.

• Avoid crowded, poorly ventilated spaces.

• If you have COVID-19 or if you have symptoms, do not host or attend a gathering.
• Get tested if you have symptoms or had close contact with someone who has COVID-19.
