2020 has been quite a year. Will we have Halloween this year due to COVID-19? Who knows? Maybe it will be a low-key event between a select group of neighbours. Of course, since most kids where masks as part of their costumes, Halloween could turn out to be a fairly safe event. I saw at my local grocery store that they were already selling Halloween candy last week! So perhaps grocery stores are in the know!
Tips for Handing Out Halloween Candy
Microbiologist Jason Tetro recommends the following tips for Halloween:
- Before giving out Halloween candy, put the candy outside for at least six hours to let any possible virus die off;
- Keep hands sanitized if you plan on handing out any treats to your costumed visitors.
Tetro adds that one positive aspect of trick-or-treating is it takes place outdoors where there is less chance of catching the coronavirus.
