Answers ? ? ? ? Labor Day is a celebra- tion of workers and the labor movements in the United States and Cana- da. Often considered the unoffi cial end of summer, Labor Day prompts many people to travel for one last getaway prior to the arrival of fall. Labor Day get-to- gethers with family and friends typically include barbecues and other out- door activities, and these gatherings may attract loved ones from various areas of the country. The National Safety Council warns that thousands of people will be injured in traffi c accidents during the upcoming Labor Day weekend. In recent years, traffi c fatalities over Labor Day weekend have aver- aged around 15 percent higher than in similar, non-holiday periods, says the NSC. In addition, the COVID-19 virus, although diminished, is still at large. Travelers are urged to re- main diligent in regard to hygiene and other safety practices. The following tips can help Labor Day travelers stay as safe as possible. • Call ahead and in- quire about any travel restrictions. Many areas of the country have re- opened, but it is important to fi nd out if there are re- strictions on crowd limits or if certain facilities are closed. • Book early and leave time for travel. People are increasingly anxious to travel once again, and may wait until the Labor Day holiday to do so. Ho- tels and other amenities may fi ll up fast, so book travel plans well in ad- vance and leave ample time for traveling to ac- count for large crowds and busy roadways. • Enforce a zero toler- ance policy for intoxicated driving. Those who are planning to drink should never get behind the wheel. Also, young driv- ers are at particular risk to be involved in alcohol- related crashes, so teens and underage young adults should not be al- lowed to drink at parties. • Limit distractions be- hind the wheel. Make a policy that the vehicle is a distraction-free zone. This includes keeping the radio low, stowing the driver's cell phone out of reach so texts or other notifi cations do not become distractions and helping to keep children occupied so they're not making a ruckus. • Exercise caution in inclement weather. Late- summer storms can roll in and cause downpours. Drive slowly and cau- tiously, pulling over until visibility and conditions improve, if necessary. These are some ways travelers can emphasize safety as they enjoy La- bor Day weekend away from home. Travel safely this Labor Day Summer is a beloved time of year that's often domi- nated by time spent outdoors soaking up summer sun. But all that extra time outdoors can make people vul- nerable to mosquitoes. According to the National Insti- tute for Occupational Safety and Health, mosquitoes are more than just hungry, unwanted backyard guests. In fact, mosquito-borne diseases, including the Zika vi- rus, the West Nile virus and dengue, pose signifi cant threats. While not all mosquitoes carry disease, even those that don't can still bite humans, leaving them to deal with discomfort and itchiness. Taking measures to control mosquitoes outside your home can reduce your risk of being bitten by mosquitoes. • Remove places where mosquitoes like to lay their eggs. Mosquitoes like to lay their eggs in standing wa- ter. Once a week during summer and other times of the year when mosquitoes might be buzzing around, walk around your property to remove standing water. Bird baths, fl ower pots, kids' toys, pools, old tires, and trash containers are some of the more common places where water can collect and present perfect places for mosquitoes to lay eggs. Turn these over to empty any standing water you fi nd. Remove empty fl ower pots and old tires from the property, and make sure water storage containers are tightly covered at all times. • Address areas where mosquitoes like to rest. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that mosquitoes like to rest in dark, humid areas. This in- cludes car ports, garages and beneath patio furniture. Outdoor insecticides can prevent mosquitoes from rest- ing in such areas. When inside a home, mosqui- toes may be resting under a sink, in closets, beneath the furniture or in a laun- dry room. Indoor insect sprays and indoor insect foggers work quickly and can be highly effective, but reapplication might be necessary, as they won't prevent more mosquitoes from entering the home at a later time. • Check your window screens. Mosquitoes might prefer the outside, but that doesn't mean they won't enter a home looking for meals if given the op- portunity. Inspect window screens to look for holes that may provide mosquitoes with access to your home's interior, replacing any damaged screens immediately. When leaving or entering a home, make a concerted effort to close doors as quickly as possible.
