Are you planning to travel for Thanksgiving to visit family or friends? Other than spending Thanksgiving with just your immediate household, there’s no way to completely eliminate the risk of getting coronavirus, but, according to health experts, if you do plan to gather with others outside your home, one way to reduce the risk is to spend two weeks in quarantine first. Not just you – but every single person you will be spending Thanksgiving with. Thanksgiving is on November 26th, so that means your quarantine would need to start today. (NBC News)
