Thanksgiving 2021 Survey: Tell Us Your COVID Holiday Plans

NEW YORK, NY — With vaccines and waning numbers, New Yorkers are likely looking forward to a more typical Thanksgiving this year after last year's celebrations were mired by the coronavirus pandemic.

Cases of COVID-19 in New York City have consistently fallen since mid-September — a far cry from this time last year, when they climbed dramatically before peaking in January.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is continuing to recommend taking precautions against the virus, but it is not advising against travel or gathering with people from outside households, like it did last year.

People should hold off on traveling until they are fully vaccinated, and everyone should wear a mask — regardless of vaccination status — when using public transit, such as an airplane, train or bus, the CDC recommends.

With many people likely to travel locally and nationally for Thanksgiving this year, Patch wants to know whether pandemic-related precautions are part of your holiday plans. Please take a minute to fill out the following survey. Your responses are anonymous.
