On top of all this, it’s also a good idea for the most vulnerable people like the elderly and those with underlying health conditions to wear a mask all the time. We need to protect them! Oh, and everyone should take the temperature before the event. Get your 4th of July decorations out of the closet and celebrate this important day properly and safely!
3. Disinfect And Sanitize All Objects Used During Family Activities
There are a lot of fun activities that can be done outdoors without any increased risk of putting your life and that of your friends and family in danger. You can play baseball or four-square, or even some traditional games such as dodgeball or sack race. Organizing a quiz can also provide moments of great fun. Besides, the whole family can play.
These are just some safe ideas! Whichever activities your family chooses to animate the day, it is important once again to maintain a safe distance, wear a mask, wash your hands properly, disinfect and sanitize all objects that will be shared between people during the activities. We are sure you’ll find something that can make this day memorable for everyone.
4. Avoid Public Places And Learn More About Your Country From Home!
This is the perfect time to learn more about the history of the United States – and learning is also a form of celebration. Even if you have many family activities planned, take some time of the day to learn something or to take part in some educational activity about the history of your country. You can take virtual museum tours. Many famous museums, such as the Smithsonian’s Museum of American History or the National Women’s History Museum, are offering in-depth virtual tours.
Due to the existing health crisis, a large number of museums have greatly improved their virtual tour experience, and others have created it from scratch to remain competitive at a time when people are avoiding public places.
This is a great way to stay safe and at the same time learn more about important events and famous historical figures. Watching historical movies is also a good idea. Just remember to keep your critical spirit while you learn and reflect deeply on the most important events and their outcome. _ We are living in times of unparalleled uncertainty.
Maintaining a certain sense of normality in our lives is a great way to prevent stress and anxiety from overwhelming us. That’s why it is important to keep annual traditions such as the celebration of Independence Day – it’s a way for us to support each other and improve our mental health.
Show your family that you are all together during this tough period and volunteer yourself to help those within your community that are suffering the most. Empathy and solidarity are essential human values that everyone should have and make an effort to express. This crisis will have a devastating long-term impact that we might not be able to overcome on our own.
