White House Plans Indoor Holiday Parties As Americans Urged To Stay Home
As Americans prepare for another lockdown amid rising COVID-19 cases, the White House is planning holiday parties!
Reuters reports that the White House will hold indoor holiday receptions in the coming weeks. First Lady Melania is already set to throw a holiday reception a few days later on Nov. 30, according to an invitation obtained by ABC News. Spokeswoman and chief of staff, Stephanie Grisham, said in a statement Sunday that the White House parties will take place in “the safest environment possible” and noted a series of planned precautions.
“Guests will enjoy food individually plated by chefs at plexiglass-protected food stations,” Grisham added. “All passed beverages will be covered. All service staff will wear masks and gloves to comply with food-safety guideline.”
Melania received the official White House Christmas tree on Monday, and the building already has been bedecked with wreath. Meanwhile, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the “safest choice” is to celebrate “virtually or with the people you live with.” If Americans do host a gathering, they should eat outside and limit the numbers of guests, according to the CDC.
