With Christmas right around the corner, health officials are encouraging would-be travelers to double-check state guidelines for each destination, if it is out of state.  Also remember to social distance as much as possible, especially from friends or family who may be older or have compromised immune systems. Always wear a mask, frequently wash your hands, and keep hand sanitizer readily available for frequent use.
