As the COVID-19 pandemic stretches on, many people are looking for safe ways to celebrate their favorite fall festivities. Here are seven helpful tips and tricks from the Cleveland Clinic to help you stay safe but still have fun this fall!
1. If trick-or-treating is allowed, parents should help their kids incorporate a face covering into their costumes.
2. Because the risk of COVID-19 transmission on surfaces is low, it isn’t necessary to disinfect your child’s candy haul.
3. When passing out candy, don’t have kids pick their candy directly out of a bowl, as this can cause germs to spread.
4. Help your neighbors out by making hand sanitizer available for trick-or-treaters and their parents.
5. When it comes to pumpkin patches and apple picking, doctors suggest visiting during non-peak hours.
6. Find hayride, corn maze and haunted house locations that are properly following disinfecting, capacity and social distancing guidelines.
7. If you’d rather celebrate at home, get creative with a candy scavenger hunt or a virtual costume contest.
