Public Health Officials Offer Halloween Guidance

From the Town of Wethersfield:

October 23, 2020

The Connecticut Department of Public Health (CT DPH) recommends that everyone planning to participate in Halloween activities review the guidance issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC Halloween flyer on Steps to Take when Trick or Treating is attached.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic requires all of us to take steps to keep ourselves, our families and our communities safe and healthy: wear our masks, wash our hands frequently, and maintain social distancing. Traditional Halloween activities carry a high risk for spreading COVID-19, but you can reduce that risk significantly by participating in fun, lower or moderate risk alternatives. Further information is available at the CT DPH website at http://ct.gov/dph under Halloween Guidance.
