The Illinois Department of Public Health has issued updated COVID-19 guidance to help people celebrate Halloween and other fall activities more safely. IDPH is reminding people that masks are currently required for all indoor public locations in Illinois. Health officials said a costume mask is not a substitute for a well-fitting face mask to prevent the spread of the virus. They also said open-air haunted houses are safer than enclosed haunted houses.

Trick or Treaters should also following social distancing suggestions.  Parents are advised to make sure proper costumes are worn to keep kids safe.  Stay in familiar neighborhoods.  Community trick-or-treat hours are posted on this news link site.
