COVID-19 and Halloween 2020

While Halloween is important to many of us, it is a lot more important to make sure we stop the spread of the virus. If you at some point plan to host a holiday celebration, you should assess the current COVID-19 levels in your community to determine whether to postpone, cancel, or limit the number of attendees.

Celebrating with some family members usually poses a very low risk to spreading the virus if you take the appropriate caution. However, if you plan on having a bigger party that includes friends and acquaintances then it is advised to reconsider and think of an alternative way to celebrate.

If you must have a gathering then you should consider celebrating outside and making sure there is enough space for people to safely be around each other with an appropriate distance. There is a higher risk of contamination when gathering in enclosed spaces.

Be aware of where your guests are coming from! If you plan on inviting someone who is located in a highly contaminated area, then you should ask them to take a COVID-19 test before coming to your gathering.

During your gatherings you should make sure to have plenty of hand sanitizer available and wear masks whenever possible as well (It’s Halloween, so it makes a lot of sense too!).

Do not host or participate in any in-person festivities, if you or anyone in your household

• Has been diagnosed with COVID-19 and has not met the criteria for when it is safe to be around others
• Has symptoms of COVID-19
• Is waiting for COVID-19 viral test results
• May have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 in the last 14 days
• Is at increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19

Remember!

• Is COVID-19 spreading at your destination?
  The more cases at your destination, the more likely you are to get infected during travel and spread the virus to others when you return.
