WLWT-TV: Health experts share concerns ahead of holiday gatherings

WLWT reported a lot of people are ready to gather with their loved ones after a dialed-back holiday in 2020 — but health experts say COVID-19 is still a threat.

"People should be careful about the size of gatherings and if you have an immune condition or you're older than 65 years of age, I think you should be really cautious about large family gatherings," said Fichtenbaum.

Fichtenbaum said you should know who is and isn't vaccinated wherever you choose to gather.

"I do worry that the holidays are going to see more transmissions and more people who are on the vulnerable cusp becoming infected," he said.

Fichtenbaum said if you feel sick, even just a sniffle, get a COVID-19 test.
