Coronavirus: Could eating at a restaurant increase the risk of becoming infected?

This is the hypothesis of a new study by the Americans CDC, according to which those who tested positive for the coronavirus have an association with the presence in restaurants in the previous two weeks

This is the hypothesis of the American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) who found that patients positive for Sars-Cov-2 reported having dined in a restaurant in the 14 days preceding the swab in an almost double percentage compared to, instead, to those who tested negative. The data from the new research, which comes when most American states are allowing people to dine indoors again, must however be taken with great caution: the sample of participants, in fact, is very small and no distinction has been made. neither between the masks used by the participants nor between eating outdoors or indoors. Much more in-depth studies will therefore be needed to confirm these new results.
