Bucks Health Dept. releases Halloween safety guidelines

Trick-or-treaters should travel in small groups, wear protective face coverings and sanitize hands as much as possible

The Bucks County Health Department and Emergency Management shared COVID-19 and general precautions for Bucks County residents planning to celebrate Halloween this year:

– Trick-or-treaters should stay outside at all times, as it is a lower risk for transmission
– Trick-or-treaters should wear reflective clothing and use a flashlight to remain easily visible to traffic and other groups
– Trick-or-treat in small groups, making it easier to social distance as much as possible
– Face coverings should be worn if not able to remain 6-feet apart; most Halloween masks will not suffice as a protective face covering
– Avoid being within 6-feet from those who live outside your household for more than 15 consecutive minutes
– Anyone handing out candy should wear a face-covering and remain outside through the event if possible
– Both trick-or-treaters and those giving out candy should sanitize their hands regularly
– Avoid costume parties and other large indoor social gatherings, especially with alcohol present
