With summer coming to an end, people are getting excited about colder weather and Halloween.
This week, Los Angeles announced a ban on trick-or-treating and haunted houses which has left people all across the country wondering what Halloween will look like for them this year.
San Antonio officials say it's just too early to make a call on that yet. Mayor Ron Nirenberg, stated, "This reminds me of walking into a store on Halloween and hearing Christmas carols. It's a bit early to have that discussion."
Dr. Sandra Guerra, assistant medical director of Metro Health, stated that additional health and safety measures may be put in place for this year. "Since the start of time, there's always been health concerns around anything that children can be involved in. It is something that as parents, particularly of children, wanting to make sure whatever activities they're involved in, they do it safely," she said.
According to Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff, by the end of October, city officials should be able to better gauge whether or not there were any Labor Day-related spikes in COVID-19 cases or spikes caused by children returning to school, which will help in making decisions for Halloween.
As of Wednesday, there were 151 new cases in San Antonio.
