Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday said he would not ban trick-or-treaters from going door to door this Halloween during an interview with a Long Island television news station.

Specifically, Cuomo said, “I would not ban trick-or-treaters going door to door. I don’t think that’s appropriate. You have neighbors — if you want to go knock on your neighbor’s door, God bless you and I’m not going to tell you not to. If you want to go for a walk with your child through the neighborhood, I’m not gonna tell you you can’t take your child to the neighborhood, I’m not going to do that — I’ll give you my advice and guidance and then you will make a decision what you do that night.”
