But there's a catch. To celebrate in the safest way possible, people follow these public health guide- lines: • On Halloween, trick- or-treating should take place outdoors as much as possible, and trick-or-treat- ers should wear face cover- ings. If it's possible to incor- porate a face covering into a costume, great! A Hallow- een mask on its own is not a substitute for a face cover- ing. • Trick-or-treaters should avoid crowding on doorsteps, take turns at the door and keep interactions brief, and maintain physi- cal distancing as much as possible. • For those planning a Halloween gathering, re- member that the current gathering limits for social events are 25 people indoors or 100 people outdoors, but the fewer people who gath- er, the lower the risk of transmission • Outdoor gatherings are always safer, so stick to outdoor spaces whenever possible • If everyone at an out- door or indoor gathering is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, it's not neces- sary to wear a face cover- ing, though people should do so if it makes them feel more comfortable • If some people at an in- door gathering are not vac- cinated, are partially vacci- nated or their vaccination status is unknown, every- one should wear a face cov- ering and physically dis- tance • If some people at an outdoor gathering are not vaccinated, are partially vaccinated or their vaccina- tion status is unknown, people should wear face coverings when physical distancing isn't possible • People who are im- mune-compromised or who face a high risk of severe ill- ness or exposure to CO- VID-19 should consider wearing a mask regardless of other guests' vaccine sta- tus • People who are sick with any symptoms, no matter how mild, should stay home • Hosts should make events as safe as possibly by keeping windows open to increase ventilation in- doors, regularly cleaning high-touch surfaces and providing sanitizer and hand soap for guests to use.
