This is a pamphlet that my town had posted around while nearing Halloween, one of the biggest national holidays that inspire people to be outside and gather on the streets. The pamphlet is a fun way to get people informed about the current status of the pandemic and ways people can partake in Halloween without having to worry too much about the pandemic. Providing people with the knowledge of what to do to if they are interested in trick-or-treating, welcoming trick-or-treaters, or trying to stay safe and prevent them from coming to their homes. Due to rising rates in COVID-19 again, it is most important to be mindful of the pandemic and your fellow neighbors. Since a lot of people are usually on the streets for Halloween and kids would be running around, it is important to stay safe and the pamphlet is a quick, easy, and accessible for people to stay knowledgeable. Luckily, the pamphlet is perfect to hang up around town or for people to have on their fridges as a reminder of what to do.
