Why Outside is a Safer Choice
If you want to spend time with people who don’t live with you, outdoors is the safer choice! COVID-19 spreads more easily indoors than outdoors. Studies show that people are more likely to be exposed to COVID-19 when they are closer than 6 feet apart from others for longer periods of time.
You are more likely to be exposed to COVID-19 when you
- Attend crowded, poorly ventilated indoor events
- Have close contact with infected people at home
You are less likely to be exposed to COVID-19 when you
- Attend outdoor activities
- Stay at least 6 feet apart
- Limit the amount of time spent with people who don’t live with you
If you participate in outdoor activities:
- Bring a mask with you to put on when you encounter people who may get closer than 6 feet
- Follow local mask mandates
If you want to make indoor activities safer:
-
- Pick uncrowded, well ventilated places
- Stay at least 6 feet apart
- Wear your mask correctly and consistently
- Limit the amount of time you spend with others
