Halloween may look a little different this year, but it’s still important to ensure we are safe and healthy for the most ghoulish night of the year.
The aim of the game this year is to stay safe and healthy, as we keep up our efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
As not everyone in Logan City and the Scenic Rim chooses to participate in Halloween, the Queensland Police Service is making it easy to let the little guys and ghouls in your area know whether or not your house is active in trick-or-treating this year.
If you are looking at heading out to trick-or-treat, police would like to remind you that we all need to do our part to prevent the spread of COVID-19 while hunting for delicious treats and showing off your spooky costumes.
Trick-or-treaters are urged to stay up to date with the health directives in place on October 31 and remember to:
Stay physically distanced from groups outside your household
Remember that gatherings are limited to 40 people in homes and outdoors
Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly for bonus points
Use hand sanitiser regularly while bewitching your neighbours
Queensland Health has also encouraged parents and carers to consider other ways to be COVID safe, like individually packaging loose treats, washing hands well before preparing treats and in between handing them out, and regularly using hand sanitiser between those ominous door knocks.
As always, be safe when out spooking the neighbourhood – keep off the roads, don’t venture into any homes, stick with a trusted adult and head back home before it’s too late to enjoy your sweet haul!
