California Discourages Trick-or-Treating this Halloween

Across California, county public health departments have issued
guidelines banning parades, block parties and haunted houses. “A
different type of Halloween” must happen this year, state health
secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly said Tuesday. Last week, Los Angeles
County banned trick-or-treating, then revised its language to
instead discourage the activity. This week, San Francisco County
similarly discouraged going door-to-door for candy while
encouraging alternatives such as virtual activities and home
decorating. We'll discuss the latest news on COVID-19 safety as
Halloween approaches.
