Why restaurants cannot be opened till COVID-19 goes off
Some really great epidemiology has demonstrated clearly the effect of a single asymptomatic carrier in a restaurant environment (see below). The infected person (A1) sat at a table and had dinner with 9 friends. Dinner took about 1 to 1.5 hours. During this meal, the asymptomatic carrier released low-levels of virus into the air from their breathing. Airflow (from the restaurant's various airflow vents) was from right to left. Approximately 50% of the people at the infected person's table became sick over the next 7 days. 75% of the people on the adjacent downwind table became infected. And even 2 of the 7 people on the upwind table were infected (believed to happen by turbulent airflow). No one at tables E or F became infected, they were out of the main airflow from the air conditioner on the right to the exhaust fan on the left of the room.

Your question is valid? if at all restaurant need to run then it should only be open for take away along with 40 to 50% of the staff working by keeping social distancing as well as taking their temperature everyday when they report for work. The restaurants should not be open for people to come and dine as this could definitely lead to spreading COVID19 if anyone person is not well and comes there for dining. more

I appreciate the point. We will not die if we don't eat in the restaurant. more

It is largely in the interest of consumers' protection from coronavirus. In restaurants mostly people sit close to each other, besides the other visitors whom one would not to be the if they are virus positive. Besides, the cost of restaurant services costs have gone much higher, it is learnt. The issue before the government is 'health first or entertainment first'. I think it is the health first. Business of restaurant industry may return as usual with the passage of time. more
