Fright night at factory

There are a few simple precautions trick-or-treaters can take to remain COVID-safe on Halloween.

Because children under 12 are not yet eligible for vaccinations, the door-to-door approach presents an increased risk for contracting the virus.

Masks remain a priority way to reduce the spread of infection and, unfortunately, Halloween costume masks are not a substitute.

Parents can get creative about making a face mask part of a child’s costume.

Celebrating outside is another way to lessen the risk of transmission.
