State provides guidance on celebrating Halloween safely

Halloween may look a little different this year, but you can still find ways to celebrate safely. Please be sure to stay home if you or anyone in your family is sick. Making these three things a part of your Halloween plans will make everyone safer:

6-foot spaces

Keep a safe 6-foot distance between your family and other people who don’t live in your household. Bring a flashlight so you’re visible in the dark. You can get creative if you’re giving out candy. Need ideas? Have bags ready to grab on your front steps or slide the treats down a “candy slide!”

Masks on Faces

Make sure you and your family are wearing a face mask or covering when you go out. Find a fun way to make it part of your costume. But don’t wear a costume mask over your face mask, which could make it harder to breathe.

Uncrowded Places

Keep your group small and skip crowded indoor parties. If you’re trick-or-treating, and one street or neighborhood seems too busy, move on to the next one.
