Tips for Trick-or-Treaters

  • Stay home if sick.
  • Keep a six-foot distance from others not from your household.
  • Trick or treat with the people you live with.
  • Avoid congregating in groups around houses.
  • Bring treats home before eating them so parents can inspect them.
  • Frequently sanitize your hands while out.
  • Wear a face mask covering both mouth and nose.
    • A costume mask (such as for Halloween) is not a substitute for a cloth mask.
