I’m not sure if this is the right place for this…
Many of us are in states that are moving to a new “phase” where dining in, at least in a limited capacity, will be permitted. I wanted to draw your attention to New Orleans, Louisiana, which has instituted a pretty smart rule:
“One thing different in New Orleans than the rest of the state is that restaurants must either require reservations or have employees take the name and number of diners at the door for the purposes of contact tracing.” https://www.wdsu.com/article/coronavirus-updates-in-louisiana-covid-19-cases-now-at-34117-2413-deaths-reported/32521507
We have good evidence that restaurants are a hot spot for transmission because people are sitting in poorly ventilated places for an extended time and have shared surfaces. www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/15/how-coronavirus-spreads-in-restaurant-video
What do others think? I have been lobbying our county and city to make this a requirement for resuming dine-in service.
