"Covid-19 coronavirus: Experts give Halloween the trick-or-treat of approval."

"Halloween has been given the all-clear by Covid-19 experts, however, trick-or-treaters are being urged to wash their hands often and keep a record of where they go.

Professor David Hayman, of Massey University, said it might pay to let children know ahead of Halloween if they're unwell they won't be able to participate.

He says parents should keep track of which houses children visit for trick-or-treating and to wash their hands regularly.

Mt Eden resident Liz McCarthy-Edwards is elated Halloween can go ahead.


'On our street, Burnley Tce in Mt Eden, we have hundreds of kids and they're like locusts. It creates a wonderful community vibe on our street.'

The Ministry of Health has no issues with Halloween this year either, however, director of public health Dr Caroline McElnay would like people to take a precautionary approach towards celebrations.

'Additionally, if people are not comfortable with people coming on to their property, they should also put a sign out,' McElnay said.

University of Otago epidemiologist Professor Michael Baker said he sees nothing wrong with people celebrating Halloween at alert level 1.

'Everybody has been in their bubbles, this is a chance to get out and reconnect with people.' "
