What are your opinions of eating outside food during this time of covid crisis? is it safe or not safe to do so?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
With precautions!: It appears to be safe to eat food prepared at restaurants as long as you take the proper precautions, in particular frequent hand-washing with soap & water for at least 20 seconds. Of course also make certain the restaurant is maintaining good hygiene. When you are picking up food wear a face mask & maintain social distancing if you go in the restaurant. I wish you well with your health!
