With COVID-19 concerns, Halloween will be different this year. Go to https://sf.gov/news/sf-
Some healthy hints are:
Crowded streets full of trick-or-treaters are discouraged, but some families in your neighborhood might still enjoy getting out while keeping their distance. Therefore, Instead of giving out candy by hand at a close distance, consider making some little baggies full of treats and leaving them out on your porch or your steps for families to pick up at a safe distance.
It is considered safe to have groups of no more than 12 people gather together indoors, or outdoors, keeping some distance. Groups of more than 12 people are allowed if you live with them. So put on a pot of pumpkin soup, and pick out a scary movie!
Remember that traditional Halloween masks are not considered protective. Maybe you can try to incorporate a proper facemask into your spooky Halloween disguise.
Pumpkin carving (especially done outdoors) and then displaying the jack-o’-lanterns for all to see, is a fun way to raise everyone’s spirits during the holiday.
Have a safe COVID-19 Halloween everyone, and remember to take care of your oral health. Bleeding gums create an open wound in the mouth and an entryway for micro-organisms into the body. We are open and caring for our patients in a safe manner. Give us a call and give us a visit!
