Skip the party and follow public health advice to stop the spread of COVID-19
To have a safe Halloween, skip the party and celebrate differently this year:
- avoid gatherings with people outside of your household;
- stay home if you feel ill or have symptoms even if they are mild;
- wash your hands often and thoroughly, or use hand sanitizer, especially when handing out treats;
- consider using tongs or other similar tools to hand out treats rather than leaving them in a bucket or bowl for children to grab; and
- consider safe and creative ways to enjoy Halloween.
Check with your local public health unit for any additional advice, guidelines or restrictions that may be in place in your region.
I also want to remind students that violating public health guidelines may result in potentially serious sanctions being imposed by your particular postsecondary institution, or local public health/ municipal officials. However, there is no sanction more serious than to cause, or contribute to the spread of COVID-19 to your friends, family, and loved ones. Our students are all adults and I know they will act responsibly. Together, we will all do our part to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and ensure that Ontarians remain safe and healthy.”
