Winter break has been underway, but what activities are safe for kids during the pandemic? Pediatrician Gina Robinson is with the Cleveland Clinic and told Michigan News Network many wintertime activities are OK as long as there aren’t many people around.
“Those things are actually going to be safer because you’re outside and so there’s more room for the particles to disperse and there’s less risk of transmission, but then those places tend to get crowed at certain times too,” Robinson said. “So you have to keep that in mind.”
Dr. Robinson says there are all kinds of outdoor activities that can be safe for kids this winter, like ice skating, cross country skiing and of course building a snow man – which you could turn into a neighborhood contest. She said the key is to practice social distancing no matter what you’re doing.
