NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- The Center for Disease Control and Prevention issued its first guidelines for celebrating Halloween amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The agency listed a number of ways to celebrate the holiday, categorizing them as low, moderate or high-risk activities.
"High risk" Halloween activities include traditional trick-or-treating where treats are handed to children who go door to door, crowded indoor costume parties, and indoor haunted houses.
Hayrides or tractor rides with people not in a family or who don't live together are also considered to be high risk.

"Moderate risk" Halloween activities include one-way trick-or-treating, with bags lined up for families outdoors, and social distance maintained, outoddor costume parties where a six foot distance can be maintained, and open-air, one-way, walk-through haunted forest visits.
A visit to pumpkin patches or going apple picking, while maintaining social distancing, wearing masks, and using hand sanitizer is also moderate risk.
"Low-risk" Halloween activities include carving and decorating pumpkins with the family or members of a household, decorating a house, apartment or living space, having a virtual Halloween costume contest.
Having a family or household Halloween movie night is also considered low risk.
Earlier this month, the iconic Village Halloween Parade was canceled over coronavirus concerns.
