The CDC released some Halloween guidelines and a map with color-coded risk levels for each county throughout the country. Sorry, Halloween looks as dead as the zombies you’ll be watching on Netflix.

Many people are wondering if they will still be able to go trick-or-treating. Los Angeles County’s public health department announced an out-right ban on trick or treating but took it back less than a day later due to backlash from community members.

The CDC map includes the Green Zone, Yellow Zone, Orange Zone, Red Zone. Trick or treating by CDC disease maps — sounds like fun?

Here are LMHS students’ opinions on whether Halloween should be canceled or not.

“I think Halloween shouldn’t be canceled but people should use precautions for the holiday. For example, parents or adults passing candy out should wear gloves and masks, and kids trick-or-treating should wear masks as well,” said Mia Torres.

“I don’t think Halloween should be canceled especially for little kids, they don’t usually go in big groups and people can put the candy outside or wear a mask while passing it out,” said Tatiana. “My dad works for the Lake Mary police department and according to him the county wants to cancel Halloween and might have even already done so.”

Another thing kids have to contend with is Halloween guilt. Yes, guilt. Plan on going to a Halloween party at a friend’s house? Well, you may have just killed your Grandma or someone’s mother. Is it fair to burden kids and teenagers with guilt when we are just trying to have a nice time?
