From trick-or-treating to apple picking: CDC ranked fall activities based on Covid-19 risk. (via CNBCMakeIt)
Carving pumpkins with people in your household, or outdoors a safe distance from others, is considered low risk, according to the CDC.Having an outdoor, socially-distant costume party or parade in which everyone wears protective cloth face masks is one way to mitigate your risk while dressing up. You should avoid going to a costume party that's indoors, according to the CDC.
To that end, a costume mask can't replace your protective cloth face mask. "A costume mask should not be used unless it is made of two or more layers of breathable fabric that covers the mouth and nose and doesn't leave gaps around the face," according to the CDC. If you're not able to move a costume party outdoors, the safest thing to do is stay home and make it virtual instead.Although hayrides take place outdoors, the CDC ranks them a high-risk activity. The reason? Typically on a hayride, you sit close to other passengers, including people who are not part of your household.
