- The long days and warm weather naturally tend to pull us outdoors for cookouts, campouts, and fireworks displays. These occasions often bring people close together and increase the chance of spreading COVID-19, especially through people that have the virus and don't know it. Here are some alternative suggestions for getting together with people safely this summer:
- Go see a drive-in movie or find ways to recreate the experience at home.
- If you choose to attend outdoor events like fireworks displays, watch from a distance and away from other people. Wear a cloth face covering.
- Attend virtual gatherings using video chat instead of getting together in person.
- Go camping in your backyard. Set up a tent. Roll out the sleeping bags. Roast marshmallows. Enjoy the comforts of your own bathrooms.

- A sport specific summer guide was released by WIAA. Every school district/program should consult with their local health department to determine risk levels.

How to Protect Yourself from COVID-19
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially before eating and after going to the bathroom, blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing.
- If you do not have soap and water, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. Cough or sneeze into an elbow if no tissue is available. Wash your hands.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household disinfectant cleaning spray or wipe.
- Wear a cloth face covering in public settings.
