With the current pandemic, I'm concerned about dining at restaurants. How can I tell if a restaurant is following proper food safety protocols?

You can ask the restaurant about their protocols. Check if they are making sure staff and customers wear masks, regularly washing hands and sanitizing surfaces. You can also observe how busy the place is – avoid eating at places that are crowded. And finally, trust your gut feeling - if you feel uncomfortable or unsure, find somewhere else to eat.

You can research a restaurant before dining there to check their food safety practices. You can look for their inspection reports, which will be available from the local health department. You should also pay attention to any signs they may have posted on safety protocols and policies. Inspection reports and public records might also include information about previous violations, if any. Additionally, you can contact the establishment directly to ask about their current protocols or take a look online at reviews or ratings to get an overall idea of customer experiences with the restaurant's safety measures.
