Special to 1808Delaware
On Friday, the State of Ohio issued guidance for Ohio communities and families related to trick or treating and other Halloween events.
The communication began as follows:
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important to use caution and plan ahead for Halloween festivities. Decisions on whether to participate should be made by local communities, individuals, and parents/ guardians.
Always follow current state public health orders and rules/regulations established by your local community, and check the Ohio Public Health Advisory System to determine COVID-19 risk levels in your county before making decisions about Halloween activities. Some communities may choose to cancel Halloween events, so check with local sources before making plans.
This guidance is designed to help curb the spread of COVID-19. It will be reassessed and updated as the situation evolves and we learn more in the weeks leading up to Halloween.
The full release, which includes general guidance as well as guidelines for parents, community members, and event and attraction operators, can be seen below.
