More parents open to trick-or-treating this year

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - With Halloween just more than a month away, it looks like more parents are open to trick-or -treating this year.    

A new Axios-Ipsos poll published Tuesday found parents see less risk in having their kids hit the neighborhood to trick or treat.

68% of them, when asked, said they see little or no risk in it.

2020 saw communities across the country cancel trick or treating due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Centers for Disease Control also says children should be able to safely trick or treat this year in small groups.
