Is it OK to go trick-or-treating during the pandemic? It might depend on your situation and comfort level, but experts say trick-or-treating is an outdoor activity that makes it easy to maintain a physical distance.
https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-science-lifestyle-infectious-diseases-holidays-9274404a4a9aa20e180c57d57e7bad38It depends on the situation and your comfort level, but there are ways to minimize the risk of infection this Halloween.
Whether you feel comfortable with your children trick-or-treating could depend on factors including how high the COVID-19 transmission rate is in your area and if the people your kids will be exposed to are vaccinated. But trick-or-treating is an outdoor activity that makes it easy to maintain a physical distance, notes Emily Sickbert-Bennett, an infectious disease expert at the University of North Carolina. To prevent kids crowding in front of doors, she suggests neighbors coordinating to spread out trick-or-treating.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says outdoor activities are safer for the holidays, and to avoid crowded, poorly ventilated spaces. If you attend a party inside, the agency says people who aren’t vaccinated — including children who aren’t yet eligible for the shots — should wear a well-fitting mask, not just a Halloween costume mask. In areas with high COVID-19 transmission rates, even the fully vaccinated should wear masks inside.
