Eating out in the middle of the pandemic? 5 things you should take care of
The following are the precautions to take before making a reservation at any restaurant.
Research the safety and hygiene of the restaurant before reserving a table
Read reviews and check photos of how the restaurant is run. Are staff wearing masks and are they disinfecting frequently touched surfaces? Also, collect information on whether they are following social distancing. Make a reservation only if these protocols are followed.
Wear a mask

Handwashing
In addition to avoiding touching your eyes, nose, and mouth, remember to constantly wash or sanitize your hands. Avoid touching tables and chairs as much as possible. Try to use contactless payment methods. If you touch any surface, wash your hands thoroughly for at least 20 seconds with soap and water or rub your hands with a disinfectant, which is at least 60 percent alcohol.
Avoid crowded places

Social distancing
Avoid close contact with strangers. Make sure you are sitting at least 6 feet away. Maintaining social distancing in restaurants is essential not only for your own good, but also for that of others.
Are we in danger with food?
