Safer Ways to Enjoy St. Patrick’s Day

Attending gatherings to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day increases your risk of getting and spreading COVID-19. The safest way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day this year is to gather virtually, with people who live with you, or outside and at least 6 feet apart from others.

• Decorate your home in St. Patrick’s Day colors, shamrocks, and leprechauns.
• Celebrate by making Irish–inspired recipes.
• Have an outdoor neighborhood St. Patrick’s Day celebration with everyone at least 6 feet apart and wearing masks.
• Watch a virtual St. Patrick’s Day celebration.

If you plan to celebrate with others, outdoors is safer than indoors.
