COVID numbers have dropped but the virus still is out there, said Dr. M. Kristen Peek, interim dean of the school of public and population health at the University of Texas Medical Branch. “The best way to ensure safety is to be vaccinated and boosted, wear a mask and try to keep some distance, though I understand that’s hard if you’re watching a parade or at an event,” Peek said. “People should definitely mask for indoor activities and, ideally, get tested before they participate in group activities.”
