Is It Safe To Order Takeout During The Coronavirus Outbreak?

In light of the coronavirus pandemic, restaurants are closing their doors to diners who want to eat in. But just how safe is it to opt for takeout instead?

Food experts stress that you should stick with restaurants that you know and trust. You should also thoroughly research restaurants before ordering. Pay attention to how fresh the food is.

If you are concerned, make sure all the employees are wearing gloves. If possible, prioritize cooking at home.
