What You Need To Know To Celebrate Thanksgiving Safely and Avoid Arrests in Connecticut

It’s that time of the year again! Thanksgiving festivities will kick off the holiday season, and, with that, the risks of arrests and fines for things such as DUIs and disorderly conduct will rise. Quarantine life, stress, and the current high unemployment rate may contribute to a somewhat different holiday celebration as well. Along with the failure to follow COVID-19 safety guidelines, the risks of being arrested and in need of bail bonds services during Thanksgiving are higher than ever.

Bail bonds is a service that can help you or a loved one that may be in this predicament this year. Whatever the situation may be, bail bond agents can work with you legally to help free an arrestee quickly, as the process may be challenging to navigate alone. These services are available 24/7, and will help during any holiday arrests. With strong COVID-19 guidelines in place during the holidays, arrests could be possible. To avoid this situation, here are some ways to safely celebrate the holidays among looming local guidelines.

Staying Safe at Holiday Gatherings

According to DPH in Connecticut, a large contributing factor to the ongoing spike in cases recently is small household gatherings. There are no restrictions from attending them this season, but officials are recommending to keep the celebrations to immediate family members only. Extra protection you can take is to ask guests who are attending to quarantine and limit contact with others for at least 14 days beforehand, and to have a negative COVID test before arriving.

At gatherings, a few ways to ensure safety is to ask guests to bring their own food if possible, and to use disposable utensils to limit contact and food sharing among everyone.

Outdoor spaces are also recommended creating larger spaces for social distancing.  If the gathering is indoors, use mask protection as much as possible, especially if guests are hanging out close together.

Beware of Connecticut Guidelines (Updated 2021)

Currently, most of Connecticut’s rules for reopening are lifted, with certain exceptions related to the wearing of face coverings. It is still recommended that you follow social distancing protocols and specific capacities permitted for gatherings at indoor or outdoor venues.  In Connecticut, specific guidelines to follow are wearing masks in public places set by town specifics.

Other Holiday Arrests

The holiday season always carries higher risks of being arrested or fined, even if there isn’t an ongoing pandemic. DUIs, which are typical during holidays, can result in holiday arrests with sentences between 3 months to a year in jail. Another way to get arrested over the holidays is outstanding warrants, which can be prevented by turning yourself into police as soon as the warrant is active. Domestic disputes and disorderly conduct are charges stemming from family gatherings, and sometimes can lead to a loved one landing in jail on Thanksgiving and in need of bail bonds services.

To avoid these, watch alcohol intake for those who will be traveling and keep noise levels of gatherings down. Arrests and fines may seem difficult to avoid this holiday season, but following COVID-19 guidelines and staying safe will prove that wrong.
