Holiday Celebrations and Small Gatherings
As cases, hospitalizations, and deaths continue to increase across the United States, the safest way to celebrate the winter holidays is to celebrate at home with the people you live with.
Gatherings with family and friends who do not live with you can increase the chances of getting or spreading COVID-19 or the flu.

How this Troy retailer refocused her strategy for the pandemic winter
T&J Handcrafted Soap in downtown Troy
By Michael DeMasi Reporter, Albany Business Review
As a small business owner with lots to do every day, Theresa Van Duyne didn't spend a lot of time trying to sell her products online before the Covid-19 pandemic.
"It sort of got put on the back burner because I was so busy making things and helping customers," Van Duyne said during a phone interview at T&J Handcrafted Soap in downtown Troy.
"Covid definitely made us refocus on our website," Van Duyne said as she made balsam-scented candles for the Christmas holiday season.

KINDERHOOK—The Ichabod Crane Board of Education held an in-person and online meeting November 3. Board members, school staff and members of the public met in the primary school cafeteria while the district also offered the public the option to use Zoom to join the meeting online. One board member, Susan Ramos, attended the meeting through Zoom.
‘I am asking for your help in keeping everyone in our community as safe as possible.’This was the first board meeting since the district confirmed several positive Covid-19 cases among students in all three school buildings. On Sunday, October 25 the district emailed and called parents to announce the decision to close the primary school and move to online learning for middle and high school students on Monday, October 26 due to a primary school student testing positive for Covid-19. The district assisted the county Department of Health (DOH) with contact tracing, and more testing led to more positive cases. On October 29 the school emailed parents again saying, “We have confirmed there was one positive student in the middle school and two positive students in the high school.”
Supt. Suzanne Guntlow, ICC School District
