Halloween Fun at Home Urged
C ontinued froM P age 6
ebrating Halloween at home.
The U.S. Centers for Disease
Control released a list of safer
Halloween activities families
may enjoy in lieu of trick-or-
treating.
If families do venture out,
Lofgren encourages limiting
groups to members of a single
household as well as obeying
the following precautions:
Have kids wear a face mask
under their Halloween mask;
stay six feet apart from other
groups; stay with your kids to
ensure they’re wearing their
masks; use hand sanitizer fre-
quently; put candy in individu-
al piles or bags a safe distance
away from your home; wash
hands immediately when you
get home.
Another suggestion is to of-
fer individual treat bags rather
than communal bowls and lim-
it contact by placing the candy
away from the house where
children can retrieve it at a safe
distance.
“Holding a bowl of candy
while a group of eight-year-
olds try to pick out their favorite
pieces involves a lot of unnec-
essary close contact,” Lofgren
said. “Sitting on your porch at
a safe distance and waving to
trick or treaters as they go by
and pick up some candy is a
much safer alternative.”
