COVID-19: How to spend the holidays with your family despite the Covid?

New year-end festivities. Christmas vacations that cannot be lived as usual in families or in our places of residence. 

Doctor: They are all worried about meeting their parents, their grandparents, and they are all told that the virus does not stop at the entrance of the house, that we must maintain the barrier measures inside the houses. Remember to manage the rooms because although it's December 24th and 25th, it's cool. But you have to air the rooms.

The virus has to leave the house and airing the rooms is one of the major elements to prevent this contamination. And we put the mask on naturally. When I say that we respect the barrier measures, I mean to put on the mask, to respect the distances and naturally, to avoid the hugs that we want to do. And then, wash your hands regularly. 

But it's still weird to have a mask in the presence of your brother, sister, aunt and grandmother?

That's for sure. Put on the mask, but when? When you're at home, and most importantly, you can take it off when you're at the table. But we must not forget that if restaurants are currently closed, it is because we stay at the table for a long time. We spit, even if it is not visible. In aerosols, the virus is transmitted. And so, at the table, you have to be at least a good meter away. The Australians say one and a half meters, so for sure you have to have a big table. It's also clear that there should be no more than 6 people at the table, according to the government's recommendations. We can put a small table for the children, next to it. 

And the children, what do we give them as an instruction? 

You know, me, those I see in consultation, they are all very cute. I've seen kids of three, four years old, with their little masks, who pay attention. They know not to give a big kiss to the grandfather or grandmother, that they have to be very careful. And they understand that.
