Consumer News: How to Stay Safe When Ordering Take Out During COVID-19
The Corona Virus (COVID-19) Pandemic is wreaking havoc across the globe. It’s affecting people physically, with massive global fatalities and causing economic hardships.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently released their guidance for restaurants and event planners that in order to slow the spread of COVID-19 in the next 15 days, people should limit contact with others in groups no larger than 10.
