Some local places will hand out individually wrapped candies to trick-or-treaters leading up to Halloween and on the holiday. When your family's done putting the finishing touches on their costumes, remember to also add a mask.
Halloween fun is still permitted to take place during the coronavirus pandemic, but trick-or-treaters need to be safe.
Only members of the same household should be within six feet of one another, everyone should wear a mask and contactless candy distribution of individually wrapped candies or Halloween grab-and-go bags is recommended.
If your family is looking for places to go trick-or-treating that are focused on providing a safe experience, then check out our roundup below. These locations are working to ensure there's no COVID-19 scares.
