Recently, I had breakfast in a small town in Illinois (Yes, it was open).  COVID-19 signs and warnings to wear face masks were placed on the outside and in the lobby of the restaurant. The waitress had a clear, full-face plastic shield similar to medical ones over her face. Her hands were covered with blue rubber gloves as was the rest of the restaurant staff.  Large, clear plastic dividers were placed between the booths. The plastic covered menus were wiped and cleaned.  The customers were seated in every other sanitized booth and hand sterilizers were placed in conspicuous places.  Sounds...

Although, to date, there have been no published reports of transmission. “Splashback,” urinating in the water at the bottom of the traditional urinal as well as stepping in urinal puddles on the floor, could be a major breeding ground for bacterium. One of the many ways to help ensure cleanliness, is frequently cleaning and disinfecting the urinals and areas around the urinals.  ...

Good news, according to the CDC’s June survey U.S. adults are more likely to wash their hands after eating at a restaurant, before eating at home and after experiencing respiratory symptoms than they were in October of 2019.
