Election Day COVID-19 Safety Tips

For many, Election Day comes with its own traditions, but the COVID-19 pandemic has added new considerations. Cases are increasing in California and it’s important to remember that the pandemic has not ended. Instead of gathering in person to watch results, hold a virtual watch party. If you are planning to gather with people outside of your household, wear a face covering, stay at least six feet away, and carry hand sanitizer.

Remember the risk of spreading COVID-19 goes up when gathering in large crowds or when shouting, chanting or singing, even if you are outdoors. For those who do gather, consider getting tested for COVID-19 within a few days through your health care provider or at a local self-referral test site. Local testing options are listed on our COVID-19 Testing Information webpage.

Some people may also experience a heightened sense of anxiety and uncertainty. If helpful, consider limiting the amount of news you take in throughout the day and tune off when you can. Stay focused on what you can control. Get exercise, drink water, eat well, and get plenty of rest. Check in with your friends and loved ones to provide support. We’re in this together and will get through it by taking care of each other. More tips and support resources are available on our Coping with COVID-19 webpage.

If you haven’t voted, it’s not too late. Every registered voter was mailed a ballot. Drop it off at an official ballot dropbox or polling place.  Can’t find your ballot? Visit a polling place for a provisional ballot.  Or if you choose to complete your ballot at a polling location, stay safe by wearing a face covering, maintaining physical distancing, and following these other tips from the CDC.

Tomorrow and in the following days, please keep yourself, your loved ones, and your community safe.
