Restaurants are looking for COVID-19 consumers, through masks, serving outdoors and disinfecting from the most sensitive part to the back, however, a new exam published through the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But it’s not the first time He suggests it probably wouldn’t be enough.
According to the CDC’s weekly morbidity and mortality report released Thursday, adults who showed COVID-19 are twice as likely to have dined at a place to eat within 14 days of poor health than those who tested negative.
Positive patients were also more likely to report going to a bar or coffee when research was limited to those who had no close contact with others with a known coronavirus.
Among them, 314 symptomatic adults who were evaluated for COVID-19 in July in 11 fitness services in several states, of this group, 154 patients tested positive for COVID-19.
Prior to the report’s publication, the CDC had already organized precautions for places to eat into 4 risk-based categories:

It has been vital to know whether or not these restaurants complied with the local rules and restrictions of COVID-19.
However, the report is consistent with knowledge of local fitness services, he said.
“I think this is a very vital discovery and it’s not the first time we’ve noticed this report,” he said. “Individual states have reported, through their tactile search, that several other people ate in a place to eat before have become sick. “
Eating is one of the riskiest activities depending on how you do it, because other people have to take off their masks when they eat, said Paul Biddinger, Director of the Civil Protection Research, Evaluation and Practice Program at Harvard’s TH Chan School of Public Health.
