R ULES FOR S INGING , C HANTING , AND S HOUTING AT O UTDOOR G ATHERINGS # 7 FROM THE CDPH GUIDANCE • Singing, chanting, shouting, and physical exertion significantly increases the risk of COVID-19 transmission because these activities increase the release of respiratory droplets and fine aerosols into the air. Because of this, singing, chanting, and shouting are strongly discouraged, but if they occur, the following rules and recommendations apply: • All people who are singing or chanting should wear a face covering at all times while singing or chanting, including anyone who is leading a song or chant. Because these activities pose a very high risk of COVID-19 transmission, face coverings are essential to reduce the spread of respiratory droplets and fine aerosols; • People who are singing, shouting, chanting, or exercising are strongly encouraged to maintain physical distancing beyond 6 feet to further reduce risk. • People who are singing or chanting are strongly encouraged to do so quietly (at or below the volume of a normal speaking voice). 4

HALLOWEEN GUIDANCE
H ALLOWEEN GUIDANCE Halloween Guidance* during the COVID-19 pandemic! To minimize the spread of COVID-19 and ensure children have a fun, safe Halloween, the County of San Diego offers guidance for the most common activities to protect you and your loved ones Available in multiple languages.
H ALLOWEEN G UIDANCE NOT ALLOWED: • In-person gatherings, events, or parties with more than 3 households are not permitted, even if they are conducted outdoors, since maintaining 6-feet of distance between participants cannot be easily maintained. • Carnivals, festivals, petting zoos, and live entertainment are not allowed because frequent interaction with high-touch surfaces by children and participants increase the risk of infection to the community. 13
H ALLOWEEN G UIDANCE NOT RECOMMENDED • Close contact, door-to-door trick-or- treating or “trunk-or-treating,” and leaving bowls of candy for others to grab is not recommended, because it is difficult to maintain proper social distancing guidelines. • Haunted Houses are not recommended because they put an increased amount of people in typically tight, poorly ventilated areas that make it difficult to maintain 6- feet of distance from others. 14
H ALLOWEEN G UIDANCE RECOMMENDED • Online parties/contests (e.g., costume or pumpkin carving) and drive-through events and car parades. • Dressing up homes and yards with Halloween-themed decorations. • Halloween movie nights with your own household or at drive-in theaters. • Pumpkin patches where people use hand sanitizer and maintain 6-feet of distance from others 15
