The survey, which was conducted by the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, found that while a majority of respondents will take precautions for the holiday, a significant number of people will be inviting several guests. 

According to the results, 38 per cent of Americans intend to invite more than 10 people to their homes on Thanksgiving or attend Thanksgiving gatherings with 10 or more people.

About 33 per cent said it wouldn't be likely that they would require their guests to wear face masks. 

Twenty-seven per cent of the participants said they would not practice social distancing, according to the poll.

About 73 per cent of the respondents said they would practice social distancing during the holidays and 79 per cent said they would only gather with those in their household. 

Additionally, 80 per cent of participants said they would ask family and friends not to come if they experienced symptoms of the virus.  

The US is seeing a surge in coronavirus cases and recently reported 11 million cases across the country.
