The Government of Manitoba has put together some tips for you on Halloween!
They include:
- Staying home if you’re sick, even if your symptoms are only mild.
- Washing/sanitizing your hands frequently.
- Covering your cough.
- Practicing physical distancing when you are with people outside of your household.
- Wearing a mask in indoor public spaces in situations where you cannot physically distance, or as required by public health orders.
Some new trick-or-treating ideas:
- Household members who feel unwell should not take part. Use the COVID-19 screening tool or the COVID-19 screening questions before participating in activities.
- If you start to feel unwell when out, return home as soon as you can.
- Be aware of local Pandemic Response System levels and consider alternatives to trick or treating as appropriate to help stop the spread of COVID-19.
- Wash or sanitize your hands frequently.
Some other ideas:
- Consider only planning activities that allow people to continue to maintain physical distancing. Avoid activities where respiratory droplets may be exchanged, such as bobbing for apples.
- Pumpkin carving and decorating where individual pumpkins and tools are provided and individuals practice good hand hygiene, maintain appropriate physical distancing and adhere to any current gathering size restrictions.
- A costume parade where physical distancing can be maintained
- Haunted Houses/Ghost Tours/Corn Mazes/Pumpkin Patches may be permitted, depending on local restrictions under current public health orders and the Pandemic Response System.
