Dr. Fauci says he isn’t eating at indoor or outdoor restaurants. Indoor dining is coming back to NYC at 25% on Sept. 30, but think twice -- Fauci says indoor dining is “much worse” than outdoors.
As New York and other cities loosen restrictions on restaurant dining, here’s some food for thought: people who tested positive for COVID-19 were approximately twice as likely to have reported eating recently at a restaurant compared to people who tested negative, according to a new report released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.
“Exposures and activities where mask use and social distancing are difficult to maintain, including going to places that offer on-site eating or drinking, might be important risk factors for acquiring COVID-19,” the authors wrote. After a six-month ban, restaurants in the city will be allowed to serve guests indoors at 25% of their usual capacity starting Sept. 30, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said.
“ ‘If you’re going to go to a restaurant, try as best as you can to have outdoor seating that is properly spaced between the tables’ ” On top of that, air circulation is generally better outdoors than indoors because particles have more room to be dispersed, Malosh said. “Outdoors, a light breeze can disperse particles with no constraint on the distance they can then travel.” That’s important because diners don’t tend to wear masks outdoors.
