From trick-or-treating to the double feature picture show, you can enjoy your favourite Halloween activities safely by taking some simple precautions. Leave the terror to monsters, ghosts and evil clowns - not the pandemic.  Click here for more info. 

 

Trick-or-treating

 

Don't go trick-or-treating if feeling ill, even if symptoms are minor

 

Choose costumes that allow a non-medical mask to be worn underneath - make sure you can see and breathe comfortably

 

Minimize contact with others: trick-or-treat with your family or cohort, remain within your community, and stay 2 metres apart

 

Avoid touching doorbells or railings: call "trick or treat" from 2 metres away, knock instead of using doorbells, use hand sanitizer after touching surfaces

 

Wash hands and disinfect packages before eating candy

 

Handing out candy
 

Don't hand out candy if feeling ill or isolating

 

Wear a non-medical mask that fully covers your nose and mouth

 

Ask trick-or-treaters to knock or call out instead of ringing the doorbell

 

Use tongs to hand out pre-packaged candy to avoid handling treats

 

 

Find creative ways to maintain distance from trick-or-treaters:

 

Hand out treats from your driveway or front lawn, if weather permits

 

Set up a table or desk to help keep yourself distanced

 

Make candy bags and space them out on a table or blanket; don't leave out self-serve bowls of bulk candy

 

Build a candy slide, candy catapult or other fun, non-touch delivery methods

 

Halloween parties
 

Stay home if feeling ill, even if symptoms are mild

 

Spend time with people you know - the smaller the group the better

 

Choose games and activities that don't use shared items and allows people to stay 2 metres apart

 

Don't share drinks, food, cigarettes, vapes or cannabis

 

Host your party outdoors, if weather permits. If you must stay indoors:

 

reduce your gathering size
 

choose a location that allows for physical distancing between people from separate families and cohorts
