The announcement of this plan may offer some hope, but it’s also important to remember that we still have a ways to go.
at your favorite restaurant or grab a drink with friends, the guidelines lay out significant “gating criteria” which governors are recommended to follow at either at the state level or county-by-county before even starting Phase One. Those criteria include a 14-day downward trajectory of illness, treatment for all patients without crisis care, and robust testing for healthcare workers.
But keep in mind, even though the White House recommendations will allow for eating out, plenty of caveats exist as to why some people may not want to. First, during this phase, “all vulnerable individuals” are told that they should continue to shelter in place, and those who live with them are warned “they could carry the virus back home,” meaning eating out could put people you live with at risk.
Finally, after successfully fulfilling the gating criteria three consecutive times—so absolutely no earlier than 28 days from now—restaurants can finally “operate under limited physical distancing protocols,” and bars “may operate with increased standing room occupancy, where applicable.”
