EastWest shares few tips to keep it safe during dining experience with friends and loved ones.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has many unfortunate effects in our daily life. One of them is that we have to stay at home for our health and safety.

This is why dining outside when lockdowns are relaxed is a welcome break from the everyday grind. However, just because restrictions are eased, it does not mean that COVID-19 is gone. The freedom to go outside and eat out carries risk that we can overcome while keeping safe.

Here are some tips to keep you safe and healthy when dining out:

1. 1. Get vaccinated as soon as possible
      This goes without saying—getting vaccinated is our best bet to protect ourselves from the worst effects of COVID-19. Studies prove that vaccines are your best defense against it. Getting vaccinated protects yourself and your loved ones.
   2. Try to dine al fresco as much as possible
      You have been indoors too long. Enjoy the sun and breathe in fresh air. Free flowing air reduces the chance of catching the virus.
   3. Go to restaurants with fewer people
      Make sure you go to restaurants that strictly follow the mandated occupancy rate. You still want to minimize the risk of getting the virus, and the more people there are in a single place, the higher the chances are.
   4. Wear a mask and a face shield. Do not take off your mask unless you are ready to eat. As they say “an ounce of prevention is a pound of cure”
   5. Practice social distancing and sanitization. Even when you’re vaccinated and wearing the right PPEs, it’s still best to practice social distancing and constant sanitization. Wash your hands before and after eating. For good measure spray some alcohol on your hands. Go ahead, dress up, put on some make up and spritz your favorite perfume. You are now ready to meet up with your favorite people and catch up over your favorite food.
