Halloween seems like the perfect time to celebrate the fun kind of scariness — but of course it will look different this year. Check out recommendations for trick-or-treating safely, plus all kinds of happenings for kids and adults, from costume contests to haunted houses. Just remember that all events are subject to change (boo) and may have specific safety rules, so check before you head out for your Halloween fun.
Though the CDC is calling traditional trick-or-treating a “higher risk” activity, state public health officials have created a safety tip sheet for families that want to trick-or-treat and people who want to give out candy.
The tip sheet was provided to most municipalities and is available to view online at readynh.gov. It offers suggestions like wearing a mask or face-covering when handing out candy, and bringing a bottle of alcohol-based hand sanitizer with you while out trick-or-treating.
