All gatherings must include no more than three households, including hosts and guests, and must be held outdoors, lasting for two hours of less.
"The longer the duration [of the gathering], the risk of transmission increases," the statement noted.
"Gatherings that occur outdoors are significantly safer than indoor gatherings. All gatherings must be held outside. Attendees may go inside to use restrooms as long as the restrooms are frequently sanitized," the statement added.
Masks must stay on after eating and drinking
The new rules state those at a gathering "may remove their face coverings briefly to eat or drink as long as they stay at least 6 feet away from everyone outside their own household, and put their face covering back on as soon as they are done with the activity."
"Singing, chanting, shouting, and physical exertion significantly increases the risk of COVID-19 transmission because these activities increase the release of respiratory droplets and fine aerosols into the air. Because of this, singing, chanting, and shouting are strongly discouraged," the statement said.
Those who do participate in these activities should "do so quietly (at or below the volume of a normal speaking voice)," and wear a face covering while engaged in the activity, the statement said.
Maintain hand hygiene
As much as possible, all food and drink should be served in disposable containers, while self-serve communal containers and other shared items should not be used at the gathering.
A place for washing hands or hand sanitizer must be available for use at the gathering and all attendees should wash their hands or use hand sanitizer frequently, the statement noted.
I am astonished that any American would agree to this.
