Halloween Guidelines
Happy Halloween! At this time RI is able to partake in Halloween :)
* Per Gov. Raimondo - Trick or treating is recommended to happen earlier in the day or early evenings*
A few tips and guidelines
---> Use hand sanitizer frequently
---> Take it outside whenever possible
Remember the three Ws!
◆ Wear a mask that’s at least two layers thick and fits snugly but comfortably over your nose, mouth, and chin without any gaps.
◆ Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Or carry and use hand sanitizer that’s at least 60% alcohol.
◆ Watch your distance by staying at least six feet apart from others
*****Stay home and do not hand out candy if you have COVID-19 symptoms or have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 . Keep your lights off so people know not to come to your door.****
CDC and RI DOH Guidelines links are posted below
Trick-or-treating tips:
