The COVID-19 pandemic has meant continued creativity as we celebrate special occasions at home, and Valentine’s Day is no different. While a date night out on the town may not be recommended this year, a special evening at home can be just as romantic and memorable.
The safest way to celebrate Valentine's Day is at home, with the people who live with you -- and love with you. Here are five date-night ideas to help ensure you spread love, not COVID.
Correct and consistent mask use is a critical step everyone can take to prevent getting and spreading COVID-19. When choosing a mask, look at how well it fits, how well it filters the air, and how many layers it has.
Two important ways to make sure your mask works the best it can:
-
Make sure your mask fits snugly against your face. Gaps can let air with respiratory droplets leak in and out around the edges of the mask
-
Pick a mask with layers to keep your respiratory droplets in and others’ out. A mask with layers will stop more respiratory droplets getting inside your mask or escaping from your mask if you are sick.
Double Masking or Wearing a “Double Mask”: For better fit and extra protection, CDC recommends wearing two masks: a disposable mask underneath and a cloth mask on top. A recent CDC report showed that wearing a cloth mask over a medical procedure mask provided more protection (note: if you use a KN95 mask, you should wear it alone and not with other masks). Visit the Virginia Department of Health for more information on masks.
