Covid-19

It’s getting spooky across the U.S. as people, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, are preparing for #Halloween festivities. This year, the CDC has announced guidelines to help people safely celebrate the holiday.

The guide suggests low-risk activities, like carving pumpkins at home, socially distant Halloween scavenger hunts, and virtual costume contests. It also suggests medium-risk activities like small outdoor costume parades and having outdoor socially distanced Halloween movie nights.

They also warn against higher-risk activities, like traditional trick-or-treating, going on seasonal hayrides, and attending crowded costume parties indoors.
