Is it safe for kids to Trick or Treat this Halloween?
This Halloween there is something far more scary than ghosts and goblins lurking the streets. COVID-19 can be a real-life nightmare. That’s why many parents are asking the same question: Is it safe for kids to Trick-or-Treat this Halloween?
Here with the answer is David Chansolme, M.D., the Medical Director of Infection Prevention at INTEGRIS Health.
Safer alternatives for traditional trick-or-treating include setting up individually bagged treats at the end of your sidewalk or driveway for kids to take from a distance, or organizing a drive-by costume parade where kids stand in their driveways wearing their costumes and neighbors drive-by and throw candy to the children from their cars. No matter how you hand out candy, remember to wash your hands before handling the treats.
If you may have COVID-19 or you may have been exposed to someone with the virus, you should not participate in in-person Halloween festivities and should not give out candy to trick-or-treaters.
