Wooster Ohio issued the following announcement on September 21.
As we near the Halloween holiday, many neighborhoods in Wooster will be looking to hold Halloween events for children. While the City of Wooster does not coordinate or sponsor a city-wide, one-day trick-or-treat event, we do recommend that neighborhoods, families and individuals who choose to celebrate Halloween take into consideration the guidance set forth by the Ohio Department of Health as it relates to the current COVID-19 pandemic.
The City of Wooster will not be compiling a list of events on our website this year. For trick-or-treating, the Ohio Department of Health recommends reaching out to neighbors to discuss ways to ensure 6-foot social distancing, how candy can most safely be distributed, and the need for face coverings.
