City of Norwich announces trick-or-treating is on
NORWICH – The City of Norwich has announced that trick-or-treating will take place next weekend, and has a number of safety tips to celebrate Halloween safely.
According to a statement from City of Norwich representatives, trick-or-treating will take place from 5:30 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, October 31 in the city.
The announcement comes after New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo said he wouldn’t ban trick-or-treating this year in a press conference last month.
“I would not ban trick-or-treaters going door to door. I don't think that's appropriate. You have neighbors - if you want to go knock on your neighbor's door, God bless you and I'm not going to tell you not to,” said Cuomo. “If you want to go for a walk with your child through the neighborhood, I'm not gonna tell you can't take your child to the neighborhood, I'm not going to do that - I'll give you my advice and guidance and then you will make a decision what you do that night.”
City of Norwich representatives said for those who do not wish to hand out candy, make sure your porch light is turned off, as that acts as a signal to trick-or-treaters that you are not participating.
They said trick-or-treaters should try to wear reflective clothing, and everyone needs to maintain social distancing guidelines.
They added that anyone feeling unwell is asked to avoid giving out candy or go trick-or-treating, and there are a number of ways people can enjoy Halloween with reduced risks of getting the coronavirus.
The New York State Department of Health lists some of the suggestions, which includes having a neighborhood car parade where families can show off their costumes, create an at home home scavenger hunt with candy prizes, carve and decorate pumpkins, play Halloween-themed games, and watch spooky movies.
The department also lists a number of do’s and don’ts which can be found at https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/seasonal-celebrations.
