This year we have skipped many things, we have postponed them, many beautiful things, which under normal circumstances is a counterweight to our life problems and daily obligations, we have consciously surrendered. Our lives have been spent for months in a confined setting and it is becoming increasingly difficult to find ways to achieve a sense of calm and satisfaction.
Concerned about the virus that is ravaging the entire planet, we have entered another Christmas season. Family celebrations have been considerably reduced and only the main and most massive winter holidays and festivities are coming. We are used to waiting for these important days weeks in advance, to orienting our plans, even life decisions towards them, we are used to them bringing us together and making our winter days warmer and happier. Vacations are a direct association with time spent together with family and friends and, for many, with larger gatherings and trips.
Still, being rational and thoughtful, even when it comes to the holidays, is now literally vital. That’s why the City Institute for Public Health Belgrade (GZJZ) advises how to safely celebrate the upcoming holidays:
First of all, uncompromisingly avoid all the larger gatherings and celebrations indoors. You have an undeniable reason for that: in our country, as in many others, gatherings of more than 5 people inside are officially prohibited!
Avoid even the crowds in the open air: street bazaars, fairs, sales and all kinds of vacations in the squares, parks … If you still need to at least feel the spirit of the holidays in this way, try to always keep the recommended physical distance from 2 meters relative to others, and if you think this is not possible, be sure to wear a mask!
If, following your old habits, you are thinking of traveling somewhere and taking advantage of the holidays, you should know that it definitely increases the chances of catching it yourself, but also that, if you are an asymptomatic carrier, you can spread the virus more easily and quickly . At this time, however, it is wiser and more responsible, towards oneself and others, to postpone all unnecessary trips.
It is less risky to spend important dates on state and religious calendars in the safest place possible: in your home, with those with whom you normally share an apartment or house in which you live. These can be close family members, but also other people with whom you may not be related, but who share the same living space. Joining people who come from another home or place, even when they are family members (for example, students who go to their parents’ houses from the university centers where they normally live during the holidays), already represents a potential risk of spread of the new coronavirus.
As a counterweight to all restrictions and warnings, we give some suggestions on how to feel the spirit of the holiday this year and enjoy it, while maintaining the necessary degree of responsibility and caution towards oneself and others. Host a festive dinner, with all the accompanying rituals, but only for members of your household. Enrich your culinary skills by trying new family recipes or finding old ones. Involve all family members in the preparations and have a creative holiday gathering for all generations.
Prepare food for yourself, but also for friends, family or neighbors, especially those who live alone, as well as those who are currently ill or at higher risk of contracting diseases. Make sure you deliver the holiday food safely, without direct physical contact or involving other people in the food delivery. For now, there is no valid evidence that the new corona virus is transmitted through food, so you can fearlessly share it with your loved ones.
Organize virtual meetings with family and friends using existing online platforms. Although at first it may seem strange and create the feeling that such communication is unnatural and lacks the usual intimacy, with a little getting used to through more frequent contacts in this way, naturalness and closeness will reach the desired level. It may sound strange, but this way you can even organize joint dinners. And do not be afraid, in this way we do not alienate ourselves or become slaves of modern technology. On the contrary, this way it helps us to preserve something very important in the safest way, relationships with the people who matter most to us.
If you find it difficult to imagine the holidays without accompanying gifts from loved ones, whenever you can buy gifts online, it is now more accessible than ever. We all have long lists of never-before-seen movies and unread books. This winter gives many reasons and justifications to spend it hidden, with a hot drink and dedicate it to shorten those lists. The weather is on your side this time. We all feel the same: we need a dose of relief and little joys like never before. There is a great desire to rest, at least for a short time, from life in the grip of greater vigilance and to enjoy the enjoyment, as in the past. However, it is necessary that our vacation plans this year be modified and put in place to prevent the spread of the kovid 19 pandemic.
The biggest challenge, the most responsible task, but also the most valuable gift of this year is to preserve your health! To me, to my relatives, relatives and friends, but also to my colleagues, to all our fellow citizens and compatriots. The holidays are there to attract the spirit of freedom. But they will be back soon, in the next few years. The important thing is that we wait for you next time, as it should be, all together!, Concludes the announcement of the Municipal Institute of Public Health of Belgrade.
