The COVID pandemic is not over. Use your best judgment and please be careful.
GET VACCINATED, plan outside gatherings, and wear masks, wash hands, keep distance, and stay as safe as possible. If you operate a venue for indoor events, look at what you can do to improve the airflow and the filtering of indoor air. Maybe something as simple as make some Corsi-Rosenthal boxes from filters, a cheap box fan, some cardboard, and a lot of duct tape.
