Whether it is precautions for COVID-19, or traveling precautions, there is a lot to keep in mind this Labor Day weekend.

AAA is predicting less people on the roadways this year because of COVID-19 and they are advising people who are traveling to check out COVID-19 stats and restrictions for their destination before heading out the door.

Holiday weekends usually mean traveling and socializing. While COVID-19 is keeping some people from doing that, it is not stopping others from heading out the door this weekend. AAA recommends having cleaning supplies wherever you go.

“Whether you decide to go to a state park, you’re going to be out and about exploring things. It’s important that when you get back in your vehicle too that you clean that down as well,” said AAA representative Montrae Waiters. And while it’s exciting to get together with friends and family during a holiday weekend, the pandemic still exists, and precautions needs to be taken. Wear a mask and stay socially distanced.
