we touch our face and eyes a lot without thinking it. So to be able to eat and enjoy knowing that you are the only one who has touched your plate and food is great.
Use gloves when serving. If you’re serving food (which can be a good way to minimize transmission of the virus) use gloves on the serving utensils. It seems like a no-brainer, but you’d be surprised.
Think about having a plated BBQ. Plating the dishes yourself minimizes the risk of your uncle, aunt or other family or friend dipping into the potato salad just to grab a “little bit” and infect the whole bowl. It could take a little more time to do so, but if you get family and friends involved, it doesn’t have to be on one person to make this socially-distant que a stress-free one.
“Just because things are opening up and you’re allowed to do certain things, doesn’t necessarily mean that’s right for you,” explains Dr. Caudle. “Consider your own risk and the risk of the people around you.”
Wise words from Dr. Caudle.
Have fun family, but also be safe.
