Halloween is expected to look different this year amid the coronavirus pandemic, with health officials advising against traditional trick-or-treating.
There’s hope that the measures already being taken to respond to COVID-19 may help mitigate the flu. Masks, social distancing and hand washing are all helpful in limiting the spread of both coronavirus and the flu. But the increase in positive COVID-19 cases statewide shows those efforts are not enough to stop transmission entirely. That’s why Noland says it’s critical to get the flu shot this year. “It is of the upmost importance to get your flu shot,” she said. “They are available now. Make it a family event and get everyone vaccinated for the flu.”
