• Person – How many people will be involved? You still want to try to keep the number of people around you to less than 10 people. If you are thinking about a barbeque, avoid the block party with 25 neighbors, and instead choose a backyard barbecue with a few family members and friends. 
• Place – Choose outdoor activities over indoor activities. Heat and humidity are not a respiratory virus’ friend, and there are few instances, if any, of people contracting coronavirus outside.  Pools are considered a safe summer activity since chlorine kills coronavirus, and the water and the outdoor air make it difficult for the virus to survive.
• Space – Even if you’re outside, you still need to practice physical distancing (that’s a much better word than social distancing!). Try to keep 6 feet apart. And if you’re indoors, make sure the area is well-ventilated. The reason why you need to be cautious in an indoor restaurant is that it is hard to keep that distance from others. If you can choose a table outside, that might be a better option.
• Time – The amount of risk seems to be closely related with how much time you are exposed to the virus. Most experts agree that after about 15-30 minutes of exposure, your risk increases significantly.

This means that you are unlikely to catch the virus simply from walking past an infected person on the boardwalk or jogging past someone on an uncrowded trail. You’re more likely to catch it in a crowded space where you can’t be six feet apart from someone. Blockbuster movies are always a summer tradition, but for now, the drive-in movie theatre might be making a comeback!

Whatever activities you do, avoid touching your face and be diligent about washing your hands. The CDC recently issued a guidance that clarified the transmission of the virus from surfaces is low, but it’s still wise to clean and disinfect surfaces and pay attention to what you’re touching.
