As the pandemic threatens to foil another holiday season, many parents are wondering if and how kids will be able to celebrate Halloween safely. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, offered some peace of mind: "I think that, particularly if you're vaccinated, you can get out there ... and enjoy it," he said.
During an appearance on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday, Fauci gave the green light to trick-or-treating, noting that it's an outdoor activity where there's less of a risk of infection.
"This is a time that children love. It's a very important part of the year for children," he said.
