Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we plan to host only our immediate family for Christmas this year, but I still anticipate having leftovers. How long after the original meal can we safely eat the leftovers?
As COVID-19 safety restrictions tighten across the country, many families are changing their usual holiday plans, with many planning to put precautions in place at holiday gatherings such as social distancing and asking those with COVID-19 symptoms not to attend, according to a nationwide survey from The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
The survey found that 79% of respondents say they plan to celebrate only with household members, 73% plan to follow social distancing measures, 67% plan to wear masks, and 62% plan to celebrate with no more than 10 people in their homes.
