(CNN)The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued its first guidance for the holidays, including Halloween, amid the raging coronavirus pandemic in a new posting on its website Monday night.
Door-to-door trick-or-treating and costume masks and parties are discouraged this year due to the pandemic, the CDC said.
"Many traditional Halloween activities can be high-risk for spreading viruses," the agency said in its posting. "There are several safer, alternative ways to participate in Halloween."
The new guidance lists "low-risk, moderate and higher risk activities" for celebrating All Hallow's Eve.

Damn, & I wanted to wear my Trump fright mask that night.
Seriously, we plan to put out an 'honor system' bowl of candy & razor-blade-loaded apples for any kiddies foolish enough to venture out.
