If it's been two weeks and you have no symptoms — and you haven't been in contact with anyone who's sick, either — you can officially venture out. But that doesn't mean you're off the hook. If you decide to catch up with friends from back home, it's important to familiarize yourself with state and local restrictions, which can be found with a simple internet search.
But regardless of the rules in your community, remember that protecting your pod — now, your family — requires taking some precautions. Just like you did at school, practice social distancing, wear a mask, and wash your hands. Avoid large crowds, and meet up outdoors if at all possible. It's the only way to prevent the spread and avoid a second lockdown.
