For access to live and exclusive video from CNBC subscribe to CNBC PRO: Parents everywhere are grappling with how to make the most of Halloween during the pandemic. The guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention asks families to take precautions if they trick-or-treat outdoors by carrying hand sanitizer, setting up stations with individually bagged treats and wearing cloth masks, not just Halloween masks. But some communities are going further by requesting that parents refrain from door-to-door trick-or-treating altogether because of the challenges of maintaining social distancing at front doors and the risks involved with sharing food. So for many families, the challenge this year is to find activities that are fun and safe. For inspiration, we asked 20 doctors, public health officials and epidemiologists with children of their own how they are planning to celebrate. We got a wide range of responses, depending on personal risk tolerance, the age of the kids and the level of Covid-19 outbreak in their community. Here’s a summary of what they had to say: Scavenger hunts Public health authorities in Dr. Yoni Freedhoff’s neighborhood in Canada have asked parents to avoid trick-or-treating. So Freedhoff an associate professor of family medicine at the University of Ottawa, and his wife have come up with an alternative plan for their three kids. The family is dressing up in costumes, carving pumpkins together and going on a horror-themed scavenger hunt. His kids, ages 11, 13 and 16, will earn their plunder by recalling moments from famous horror movie scenes. “The kids are excited,” he said. “They’d rather be trick-or-treating, but their mother is a rock star when it comes to stuff like this.” Scavenger hunts seem to be a particularly popular option among doctors and public health officials this year. It’s a way to stay at home in cold climates, they say, or to engage safely with the community outdoors. “Bottom line: Halloween isn’t canceled, but it has to be adapted,” said Dr. Wendy Sue Swanson, a pediatrician in Madison, Wisconsin. Her neighborhood has an outdoor scavenger hunt planned for all the local kids in their costumes. Parents have agreed ahead of time to social distancing and masks. “There’s no sense blowing all of our efforts for a little candy,” she said. “Enjoy the silliness, but don’t break down and put yourselves or others at risk.” Covid is never far from the thoughts of Dr. Panagis Galiatsatos, a pulmonary and critical care doctor specializing in respiratory disease. After mulling options, he settled on inviting his nieces and nephews over for a costume party with his kids. He’s working on a map filled with riddles to solve, which will lead the kids to hidden candy stashes around the house. Galiatsatos is confident that Halloween can still be fun this year with a little advanced planning. “As doctors, we don’t want to lose sight of the fact that this is a holiday that actively celebrates masks,” he said. Trick-or-treat — with a twist Emergency medicine physician Dr. Amy Cho is still planning on a trick-or-treat outing with her four kids, but with a twist. If it’s not too cold in Minneapolis, where she lives, she’ll take her kids to homes with the lights on. They won’t knock on any doors, but her kids can help themselves to sugary treats on outdoor tables. » Subscribe to CNBC TV: » Subscribe to CNBC: » Subscribe to CNBC Classic: Turn to CNBC TV for the latest stock market news and analysis.
