Don’t forget about your mask!
I’m sure you’ve already heard this on a daily basis, but wearing your mask reduces the risk of contracting the virus by 80 percent. Fauci urged people to wear the mask over and over again since the beginning of the pandemic in the United States, the comment even reached the 2020 “Yale Book of Quotations.”
Anthony Fauci first advised Americans to wear a mask on May 21 during an interview for CNN, and he’s been giving the same advice ever since.

Avoid gatherings!
Fauci has urged people for months to avoid large gatherings, but that’s especially important now, as we’ve entered the holiday season and Christmas is just around the corner. While it can be hard not to spend time with your family and loved ones on Christmas, like you did every year, it’s very important to limit gatherings to no more than 10 people in order to stay safe.
Here’s What You Need To Consider While Doing Your Grocery Shopping.
Stay away from indoor bars!
You probably know this already, but bars and restaurants are considered the most high-risk places right now amid the recent surge in the United States. Spending time in a bar in the context of a global pandemic is very dangerous, as people have to take off their masks to drink, so it can be very easy to contract the virus and spread it to other people.
According to Fauci, “You’ve got to look very carefully at things like bars, [which] are a really important place of spreading of infection. There’s no doubt about that.” “That becomes particularly important if you happen to be in an area where there’s a high degree of community spread.”
