Tips for Trick-or-Treaters and Parents:

•When in large crowds, consider socially distancing if you can.

•If you’re not vaccinated and are in a highly crowded area, consider wearing a mask, however, this is not a mandate.

•Consider sanitizing your hands when out and washing your hands when you’re done trick-or-treating.

Tips for Homeowners:

•Position a distribution table between yourself and trick-or-treaters.

•Distribute candy on a disinfected table to eliminate direct contact.

•Consider handing out candy in an open space where distancing is possible, rather than from the front door.
