Celebrate Halloween Safely
Happy Autumn!
Halloween is right around the corner. Halloween traditions will look different this year to keep everyone safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, but families can still have fun while avoiding exposure to or spreading the virus.
The CDC offers the following safer, alternative ways to participate in Halloween:
- Carving or decorating pumpkins with members of your household and displaying them
- Carving or decorating pumpkins outside, at a safe distance, with neighbors or friends
- Decorating your house, apartment, or living space
- Having a virtual Halloween costume contest
- Having a Halloween movie night with people you live with
- Having a scavenger hunt-style trick-or-treat search with your household members in or around your home rather than going house to house
