My wedding is in a week and a half and Covid cases are soaring… some family was exposed last week, and I’m pregnant. Any advice? 🙏🏼

I wouldn't cancel at this point, but I would especially ask those who were directly exposed (vaccinated or not) to get a COVID test a day or two before the wedding. Are you able to setup a virtual option in case anyone tests positive?

I would absolutely ask that everyone get tested 1-3 days before the wedding. There are so many cases right now! By then your sister should test negative, and it will definitely be long enough that those exposed will get an accurate test. Like someone else said, maybe you can set up a virtual option for anyone who is positive?

I'm so sorry! I know how stressful this all is, but the health of you and your baby and family has to be a priority. I hope that testing everyone will bring you peace of mind!

Happy wedding!!

• Hello party people! I hate to be the bearer of bad news but given the rise of Covid cases, we’re asking that everyone gets tested as close as possible to the wedding. I know a bunch of us got tested this week but we want to double check next week in case someone gets infected this week or their test was an early/false negative this week. PCR would be ideal since we know now that the rapid tests can give a false negative. Family members of Northwell employees (thank you Danielle and Gary!) can use their family test centers if needed- seems like a good option because they have a lot of available appointments next week. I think we’d need to do the tests by Tuesday to get results by Friday but I haven’t used this test site before so I’m not totally sure. The venue is also requiring masks as per the NYS requirement, but we’ll be eating and drinking most of the time so we prob won’t be wearing them most of the time. I hope everyone understands and we are really looking forward to a Covid free wedding!!!
