Health officials offer reminders, tips about Halloween in the age of Covid-19

Hardin County and the surrounding area is preparing for Halloween tomorrow, and the Lincoln Trail District Health Department is letting those handing out candy know what they can do to help protect trick or treaters. 

Public Information Officer Terrie Burgen also recommends trick or treating in small groups only, and with those who live in your own household, as well as continuing to wear protective face coverings. Hardin and LaRue are currently in the red zone, meaning there is a high risk of COVID transmission in those counties. 

Hardin totals nearly 100 new cases Thursday, state sees over 1,800 cases
