Maine 2020 COVID requirements
Seasonal activities
Pick-your-own farms, orchards and tree farms must require workers and customers to wear face coverings. Pick-your-own locations and craft and county fairs can have up to four separated zones of up to 50 people each, including staff and customers, with 14 feet separating the zones. Hayride and sleighride staff and customers must wear face coverings and maintain at least 6 feet between household groups of up to 10 people or individuals. Advanced reservations and time restrictions are recommended for corn mazes and haunted houses.
Halloween
Trick-or-treaters should wear a face covering. A costume mask will not suffice unless it has two or more layers of breathable fabric
that covers the mouth and nose and doesn’t leave gaps around the face. Children should avoid indoor spaces that don’t allow for easy social
distancing. The guidelines warn that traditional Halloween activities can be high-risk for spreading viruses and recommend safer activities such as
carving pumpkins with household members, decorating houses or living spaces, having a Halloween-themed scavenger hunt for children or holding a
Halloween movie night with people you live with
