A member asked:

Hi doctors. i'm confused--how can it be safe to eat inside of a restaurant, if/but when you enter the restaurant, you keep your mask on, when you order food, keep your mask on--it seems that it is safe to not wear your mask only when you are eating?

COVID 19: There is risk involved whenever you are around other people. This is especially true if not wearing masks or not social distancing. The risk is higher when people's masks are off in a restaurant. I think this is a compromise that is made because our economy has been hit so hard (including the restaurant business.) There are varying levels of risk - than businesses & customers are willing to take
