Murphy Issues Rules, Guidance For Trick Or Treating

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has issued a whole set of rules with regard to Halloween Trick or Treating which will be permitted but only within the restrictions.

Here are some of the rules and guidance:

• In place of placing treats in bags, the candy should be arranged in a way so that they can be accessed but can't be touched "multiple times."
• Those distributing candy should have treats individually packaged so trick-or-treaters can "grab and go" with no shared bowl.
• Trick-or-treaters and those distributing candy need to wear masks.
• Groups should be limited to household members.
• Groups should stay local.
• Trick-or-treaters should limit the number of homes on their route.
• Social distancing is required for groups who are not all from the same household
• Handing out candy is not recommended.
• Those distributing candy should wash your hands repeatedly.
• Commercially packaged and non-perishable treats are recommended.
• Outdoor trunk-or-treat events can be held, but the number of cars should be limited for social distancing. Lines should be single-file and socially distanced.
