It's the party under the coronavirus cloud -- the Scranton St. Patrick Parade is set for this weekend.
The head of the parade association put out a statement on Facebook, and the statement offered some simple advice concerning the Saturday afternoon parade.
The first item: if you don't feel well, stay home.
If you do join the thousands along the parade route, just practice good hygiene.
There will be portable toilets all over the downtown, and there will be handwashing stations adjacent.
The statement encourages you to go an extra step and possibly wear gloves and use hand sanitizers.
The biggest Saint Patrick's Day parade in the country is set for Tuesday in New York City, and the mayor says that parade will go on as scheduled.
