The world will be celebrating the festival of Christmas soon. Along with happy vibes, it will also give an opportunity to those who want to take a small trip during the long weekend. People living in Delhi and the National Capital Region can go to a number of nearby destinations for a three-day trip from December 25 to 27.
However, during the times of Covid-19, there are certain precautions that you need to take before you decide to head off to celebrate the holiday season. People should wear masks in public and avoid touching surfaces that have not been sanitised. You should not eat meals with many people inside enclosed spaces like restaurants. Instead, try eating at open-dining places where there is enough space for people to sit at a distance from each other.
