• We can still enjoy some of our favorite Halloween traditions – and create some new ones – while keeping our kids and neighbors safe. Door-to-door trick or treating is not recommended, but if you do choose to participate, here are some tips:
– Don’t trick-or-treat or pass out candy if you’ve been around someone who has/might have COVID-19.
– Screen yourself for symptoms before trick-or-treating, and only go out with your household.
– Wear a face covering under your Halloween mask and don’t share masks
– Wash hands before and after you trick-or-treat.
– Alternatives to trick-or-treating include having a Halloween movie marathon, hunting for candy or prizes at your home, baking spooky treats, or having a drive-through or virtual costume contest.
