NBC News senior medical correspondent Dr. John Torres shares how people can safely travel this holiday season with omicron COVID-19 cases rising in the U.S.
"I talked to an expert this week and she did remind us that those rapid tests are only good for about six to 12 hours so they're just a snapshot in time but they can help right before that party."Brandon Bell / Getty Images
Even if your COVID-19 test came back negative and you took advantage of your eligibility for a booster shot, Torres says that you should still wear a mask everywhere you go and keep to yourself when you're around loved ones.Ventilate closed spaces. Lastly, if you find yourself inside with multiple people, Torres advises to ventilate the building or home by using windows and doors.
"Remind people to bring an extra sweater or jacket if it's cold so they can stay safe and warm. And again, if anybody feels sick, and this is important, make sure they stay away."
