Not all families may feel comfortable participating in trick-or-treating this year\; teach children not to ring the doorbell if a light is not on.\n Consider using a motion activated noise maker to notify you when trick-or-treaters are at the door\, such as a motion activated Halloween decoration\, rather than having trick-or-treaters ring the doorbell\, which can be a high touch-point.\n Face coverings should be worn by all participants over the age of two\, including individuals passing out treats. \n Avoid close contact with others by leaving candy on your porch - or even socially-distanced on your lawn (see below for a list of ideas).\n If you would prefer to answer the door to greet children individually\, pass out candy instead of inviting children to take a treat from a communal bowl.
