You can read the list of guidelines below if you choose to host an in-person gathering:
- Do not exceed the gathering limit of 25 people indoors and 100 people outdoors.
- Have the fewest number of people possible at your gathering.
- Use outdoor spaces whenever possible.
- Provide all the necessary supplies, including hand sanitizer, soap and water.
- Open windows, if possible.
- Clean and disinfect high touch surfaces.
- Ask guests not to attend if they have symptoms, even if they are mild.
- Make a list of guests attending in case your local public health unit needs it for contact tracing.
- Remind people of public health advice to follow during the event.
- Wash your hands before and frequently when preparing and serving food.
- Have everyone was their hands before and after eating.
As for Halloween, Dr. Moore recommends trick or treating outdoors as much as possible, stay home if you have symptoms, build a face covering into the costume, don't crowd at doors and don't sing or shout for treats.
