A Holiday Safety Note From Our PCS Nurses
The health and safety of our community are of the utmost importance this holiday season. Our celebrations will need to be altered this year, but we can still preserve the holiday spirit while following the important public health recommendations to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
We want to ensure that all of our PCS families celebrate safely this year. This guidance from the Sonoma County Health Department and the CDC addresses health and safety considerations for the upcoming holiday events, including Halloween and Thanksgiving, and recommends fun alternatives that pose lower risk of spreading the virus. Please refer to these guidelines and enjoy the holidays safely!
