How to Stay Safe From Coronavirus While Eating Out: Restaurant Advice From an Infectious Disease Expert

Thomas A. Russo, MD, professor of medicine and chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases, published an article featuring tips on how to stay safe from coronavirus while eating out. “Menus are a bit more problematic, depending on the material.
