Norton urges Halloween anti-virus safety

The city of Norton is urging Halloween trick-or-treaters to participate safely by avoiding large groups, practicing physical distancing and following federal Centers for Disease Control guidelines.

Trick-or-treaters are asked to do so during the hours of 5:30-7:30 p.m.

City officials ask participants to remember:

• Do not participate in trick-or-treating if you are feeling unwell.

• Face coverings should be worn by all participants, including individuals passing out treats.

• Do not trick-or-treat in groups with others; trick-or-treat as a household.

• Maintain a safe distance from other trick-or-treating groups, and do not approach a house until the previous group has left.

• Please do not distribute homemade treats or fresh fruits.

• Make sure your children wash their hands after trick-or-treating, especially before eating their candy.

• Turn ON your porch lamp or outdoor lights to show that your home is welcoming trick-or-treaters.
