Lightfoot: 'We have to continue to sacrifice.'

WATCH: Dr. Judith Lightfoot, chief of infectious disease at Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine, spoke with NJ Spotlight correspondent Joanna Gagis about the continuing need to safely celebrate during Hanukkah, especially given the recent surge of Thanksgiving-related COVID-19 cases. 

"Let's just step back and have some respect for all and safety concerns for everyone," Lightfoot said. "(We) just have to be a little bit more uncomfortable for a little bit longer until we can be comfortable again."
