There are ways to do fun Halloween things (including trick-or-treating) in a safe way:
- Have a Halloween party at home. Decorate to the hilt and let kids stay up to watch a Halloween movie with some special treats.
- Carve pumpkins. Roast the seeds, too.
- Try alternatives to trick-or-treating, such as a glow-in-the-dark egg hunt, hanging packages of candy on a tree or fence to be “picked,” or setting up a table in the front yard laden with individual cups filled with candy for trick-or-treaters to take.
- Participate in an outdoor Halloween parade and show off your costume.
- “Boo” someone! Leave a bag of treats or a pumpkin on a friend’s doorstep after dark, ring the bell and run.
- Set up a Halloween scavenger hunt in and around your house for the people in your household.
If you choose to attend a party or take the kids trick-or-treating, remember these important safety guidelines:
- Maintain physical distance from people you don’t live with.
- Don’t substitute a costume mask for a cloth mask. Unless your costume mask is made of two or more layers of fabric and fits snugly around your mouth and nose, wear a cloth mask instead. Don’t wear a cloth mask under a costume mask, as this may make it hard to breathe.
- Frequently wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds. If soap and water isn’t available, use hand sanitizer.
- If you have COVID-19 or have been exposed to someone with a confirmed case of COVID-19, you should not participate in in-person activities or hand out candy to trick-or-treaters.
- Remember that outdoor celebrations are safer than indoor, particularly enclosed, poorly ventilated spaces
