Dr. Kieran Moore, Ontario's chief medical officer of health, released his advice today for safely celebrating Thanksgiving and Halloween.
Here's what he had to say about the two October holidays:
Thanksgiving
- Stick to gathering limits of 25 indoors and 100 outdoors
- Don't attend any social gathering, event, or dinner if you are experiencing symptoms of illness, even if they are mild
- If some or all of the people at the event are not vaccinated, consider keeping your mask on while indoors
- Wash and/or sanitize your hands often
Halloween
- Trick-or-treating should be done outdoors
- Trick-or-treaters should wear masks
- Take turns and keep interactions brief to avoid crowding doorsteps
- Parties should follow the same guidelines as Thanksgiving gatherings
