DETROIT – Restaurants have been incredibly hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, with many struggling to survive with limited capacities and outdoor seating. A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is raising concerns about the safety of dining out -- especially for those eating indoors. The study did not differentiate between indoor and outdoor seating, but experts claim eating indoors is inherently more risky. When it comes to eating indoors, air flow is critical since customers cannot wear masks while eating and drinking. With cold weather soon to limit outdoor options, it’s another challenge for restaurants struggling to survive.
