As the days get warmer, we itch to be able to get outside, enjoy the weather and prepare for the summer. We would like to return to normalcy and for our children to have fun, even though we are still in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. To accomplish this we must follow the familiar rules for reducing virus transmission: wearing masks, social distancing and handwashing/disinfecting.
Thinking about what is safe for your children so they can enjoy a long, healthy summer? Dr. Hildred Machuca, pediatrician at Northwell Health Physician Partners/Westchester Health, offers information and guidance on some summer activities that kids can participate in. Westchester Health physicians are here to make sure the wellness of your family members is a top priority as you’re planning ahead.
