High, Medium, and Low-Risk Thanksgiving Activities Ranked By The CDC

With Thanksgiving just right around the corner, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have put together a list of things we normally do on Thanksgiving and how risky those activities can be during the pandemic.

Low-risk activities:

• Having a small dinner with people in your household.
• Bringing people food, with no-contact.
• Watching football or parades from home.
• Shopping online instead of in person.

Moderate-risk activities:

• Having a small, outdoor dinner with few friends and family members.
• Being outside in small groups if you decide to social distance.
• Attending a small outdoor sporting even if there are safety precautions enforced.

High-risk activities:

• Large indoor gatherings.
• Shopping in crowded areas.
• Going to big party.
• Drinking alcohol, since it can mess with your judgement and might make you less likely to social distance.
