As society reopens and families begin to venture out of quarantine, many people are asking their physicians “When is it OK for me to…?”  Every situation and risk tolerance are unique.  Some factors to consider when making decisions for your family include:   family members’ ages, health conditions, job and financial situations, and mental health or stress conditions. 

General Guidelines

Create a framework that works for you and your family and go with it.  Trust your intuition, but continue to act cautiously and take precautions that will keep you and your family healthy and safe.
