Skip The Traditional Halloween Trick-or-Treating This Year To Avoid A COVID Scare - CBS Miami

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The thought of letting their children do traditional door to door trick-or-treating door-to-door for candy is definitely a scary idea for parents this year due to the pandemic.

In light of that, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue is recommending alternative ways to celebrate Halloween.

They suggest hosting a virtual costume party so you keep your distance from others. Also, you can go to a well-planned local drive-thru trunk-or-treat event in your neighborhood.

You should avoid crowded places and large gatherings to reduce exposure and spread of the virus.

Although discouraged, if you are still considering in-person trick-or-treating, be sure to keep your mask on at all times, practice social distance, and wash your hands frequently. Stay clear of traffic and carry a flashlight or glow sticks for drivers to see you.
