  • Do not eat candy while trick-or-treating
  • Avoid touching your face 
  • Consider bringing hand sanitizer  
  • Wash your hands thoroughly before eating any candy 

Handing Out Candy

  • Wear a mask that covers your nose and your mouth and is effective at limiting the spread of COVID-19
  • Maintain 6 feet physical distance from trick-or-treaters
  • Consider pre-packaging individual candy bags and placing them on a table or in a bowl for trick-or-treaters to take from
  • Consider placing candy at the end of your walkway, driveway or the front of your yard on a table  
  • Wash your hands thoroughly before and after placing candy into individual candy bags 

Please refrain from participating in Halloween activities and stay home if:
