As more locations around the U.S. re-open, people are starting to plan social events again. But for some, these gatherings include new precautions to ensure they don't spread Covid-19.
Whether it's requiring friends to take a Covid-19 test or agreeing to wear masks at all times while indoors, people are creating new standards of social etiquette suited for the "new normal" of life with the coronavirus.
"That's just the smart thing to do, and I don't think we know anybody who would've objected to it," Prasad said., a direct-to-consumer clothing brand that he invested in. Although the barbecue was a mostly outdoor event, guests were asked to wear the masks while inside. To minimize the spread of the disease, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends staying six feet apart, wearing face coverings, and keeping tissues and hand sanitizers handy whenever people venture outside. The CDC also notes that indoor spaces are riskier than being outdoors, and that spending more time with people who may be infected increases the risk of transmission.
"This is unprecedented," Malina said. "Paying a little bit more because your friend got sick, I don't think that's going to bother anyone."
