The Fourth of July is upon us and with that comes fireworks, crowds and injuries, oh my! There is no doubt that this 4th may look a bit different from previous years. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many counties and cities to cancel their fireworks displays to keep large crowds from gathering in one place. Though some shows are still on, it is important to be very careful when it comes to social distancing.
Avoid Large Gatherings Due to COVID-19
COVID-19 has altered many plans from travel to family gatherings and of course, firework shows. Many local shows have been canceled to avoid large group gatherings, but search your area to see if there is an alternative. Some cities are continuing with their fireworks shows, but are encouraging community members to watch from their homes or online where it’s being streamed. Look to see if there are virtual shows located near you. You should also look to see what your local and state fireworks laws are. Since shows have been canceled and at-home fireworks are on the rise, it is important to stay extra safe and to know the laws.
May our country always flourishes and celebrates many more years of independence. Wishing you all a pleased and blessed independence day.
Hope you, your families, friends and loved ones have a safe and happy Independence Day!
