Moder- ate risk activities include visits to outdoor activities such as pumpkin patches where people are wear- ing masks and social dis- tancing, and outdoor movie nights where people are sit- ting 6 feet apart and wear- ing masks. Low risk activities, rec- ommended for this year, include online watch par- ties for Halloween movies, online costume contests, at-home pumpkin carving and driving around town to see Halloween decorations. Traditional Halloween masks with holes for the mouth and eyes do not offer protection from COVID- 19, and a mask worn over the nose and mouth for COVID-19 is encouraged with all costumes.

According to a news release, Bowen recently completed his residency at Henry Ford Wyan- dotte in Wyandotte, Mich- igan, after graduating from Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine in Greensburg, Pennsyl- vania.
