The #1 Trick to Not Catching COVID-19—Revealed by This Yale Doctor


You can be safe in almost any space if you observe these rules—and know exactly how to implement them. No area is completely off limits, but you have to be mindful of where your hands are and what the potential is in any space for spread of the virus through droplets in the air. The trick is to make your own "safe zone." Let me give you some examples. Read on, and to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss these Sure Signs You've Already Had Coronavirus.

1. When You're At the Restaurant

Most restaurants will be making changes to keep you safe, such as operating at half capacity to increase the distance between people, disposable paper menus, and wrapping utensils in napkins and properly disinfecting surfaces between customers. For instance, in restaurants, you want to be sure that if you touch a menu that is not single use that you wash your hands after ordering.

Be conscious of touching surfaces that may be contaminated. Eat with utensils that haven't touched a table surface or anything else. Forgo the breadbasket to avoid potentially tracking virus from your hand to your mouth. Forgoing shared plates and meals is best. If you are eating family-style, appoint one person serve the table to minimize the number of people touching the utensils. In more casual situations such as at the office or picnics outdoors it's best to avoid shared food for the time being.
