The state released guidance earlier this month on tips and tricks to celebrate Halloween along with alternatives during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Are you taking your kids trick-or-treating this year? Voting has closed for this poll — here are the results:

  • 53% voted no
  • 47% voted yes

Watch for another poll this Monday afternoon that we will follow and review starting at News5 at 4 p.m.

The state is recommending alternatives to traditional trick-or-treating with lining your driveway with candy, using a plastic slide or pipes to deliver candy from a distance, and taking children on a treasure hunt to look for candy and Halloween-themed items.

If you do decide to celebrate Halloween, the state says outdoor gatherings in smaller groups is safest with mask-wearing. Masks that come with costumes do not provide the same protection against COVID-19.
