Halloween During COVID-19

Fun with alternatives to keep everyone safe...

As we prepare for the fun of the upcoming Halloween festivities, remember to do so by adhering to practices that protect you and others from the spread of COVID-19. Along with social distancing, hand washing, and wearing a mask, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website offers alternative activities in lieu of trick or treating for Halloween that you and your family can enjoy.

Enjoy Halloween activities and take steps to protect yourself from getting or spreading COVID-19.
