Is it safe to eat food from a restaurant during coronavirus?

COVID-19 is not a foodborne illness according to the CDC’s frequently asked questions. While it may be possible to become infected if an object that has the virus on it comes in contact with a person’s mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads. Additionally, before preparing or eating food, it is important to always wash your hands with soap and water for 30 seconds for general food safety.

Is Village Food Tours allowing employees to wear gloves or masks to curtail the spread of COVID-19?

The wearing of gloves by employees who are interacting with customers is now standard for our Food Tours To Go. It is not required on any of our other tours as the drinks and food are served safely by our restaurant partners adhering to local guidelines. Additionally, our guests will receive a complimentary mini bottle hand sanitizer and mask if needed. Masks are required to be worn by all guides while on a tour. 

 

We continue to review public health guidance to ensure that we have the right policies in place to help prevent the spread of the virus.
