Amid surging COVID-19 case numbers, Manitobans who are still celebrating Halloween are having to get creative.
The Winnipeg Region will move into critical level red on the Pandemic Response System, and the rest of the province will elevate to orange, but first, Halloween.
Public health officials have set out guidelines for the event, but some parents are still on the fence about taking their kids trick-or-treating.
In Bord-Aire Community Centre’s parking lot, costumed kids are making their rounds at the first-ever Trunk-or-Treat Halloween event.
Trick-or-treating is still allowed under current health restrictions. Public health officials recommend you only trick-or-treat with family, that anyone over the age of two wears a mask, and families keep their distance from other groups.
Knock or call “trick-or-treat” instead of pushing doorbells, use hand sanitizer often, and clean your hands after handling the candy you bring home.
