With Halloween fast approaching, here are some tips to safely celebrate #Halloween2020 during COVID-19 times. Alternative lower-risk activities include pumpkin carving and decorating, hosting virtual costume contests, creating scavenger hunts for candy with your kids, making fall recipes, and watching scary movies at home. We encourage you to be creative as you can be! When participating in trick-or-treating activities, please keep it as safe as possible, such as preparing goodie bags ahead of time and placing them on a distribution table, setting up one-way trick-or-treating, marking 6-foot distances to avoid crowded doorsteps, and trick-or-treating with people you live with.

Per Yolo-Solano Air Quality, wildfire smoke will continue to impact many parts of Solano County from the August Complex. The smoke is pushed by strong northerly winds through Wednesday. Unhealthy amounts of smoke are forecasted into tomorrow afternoon until winds shift from the South. Limit your exposure to the harmful effects of wildfire smoke by reducing outdoor activity and keep indoor air clean. Ash from impacted areas and structures is being blown around by current windy conditions. Protect yourself from harmful ash by avoiding direct contact with skin, eyes, or mouth. Avoid going outdoors, especially those with conditions such as asthma, older adults, and children. Visit airnow.gov for the up-to-date air quality information in your area. For information about cleaning up ash, visit www.ysaqmd.org/wildfire-smoke-information
