SAN ANTONIO— Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, but this year’s celebration will be different.
“I haven’t planned what to do on that day,” said Wendy Garcia, a student at Our Lady of the Lake University. “It’s hard to do things due to [Covid-19].”
Even with the Covid-19 restrictions, it is possible to make it memorable.
“For Valentine’s Day, I plan on staying safe and staying in with my best friends and having a girl’s night,’” said Sacnite Blanco, a student at Our Lady of the Lake University.
Here are 10 social distancing activities that you and your significant other or friend can do.
