ON DEMAND UNTIL APRIL 8, 2022
The pandemic has significantly reduced dining room sales for most of the foodservice industry with losses of 60–70% over the last 6 months. In order for the restaurant industry to fully recover these sales, it needs to fully implement the environmental health controls that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends are necessary for the prevention of SARS-CoV-2 transmission, which will also reduce the risk of foodborne disease transmission. These controls must now include the adoption of area-specific air ventilation and filtration standards that should be augmented with air purification systems to decontaminate the immediate air between customers sitting in occupied spaces when not wearing face coverings. Customers must also participate in these public health measures to maximize the prevention of infectious disease transmission while dining in restaurants. Attendees will learn how to:
- Implement all of the environmental health controls that the CDC recommends for occupied spaces in restaurants, including those known to reduce the risk of foodborne disease transmission in restaurants
- Begin the air purification of immediate spaces to further reduce viral transmission in occupied dining areas
- Encourage customers to participate in public health measures by improved public health communications and monitoring
