[Commentary] Recently, a number of practitioners in the catering industry in Beijing diagnosed new coronary pneumonia. Many people expressed that they dared not order takeaway. So under the current circumstances, can we continue to order takeout? What prevention and control measures should the restaurant catering industry take?
On June 17, Fu Hua University professor Fu Hua said in an exclusive interview with a reporter from China News Service that he recommended that Beijing's catering industry practitioners and take-away employees conduct unified nucleic acid testing, strengthen self-examination, ensure food safety, and eliminate consumer concerns.

I think that those who are engaged in catering in Beijing should do a nucleic acid test to eliminate the concerns of consumers about takeaway. The person who delivers food must also be tested. At least during the transportation process, it will not be contaminated inside the (plastic restaurant) packaged plastic bag. Do some such measures to ensure that our consumers will not come into contact with them, there may be such a way of infection. I think we (consumers) can eat with confidence.
【Explanation】Fu Hua said that not only restaurants need to verify the health and safety of their employees and dishes through nucleic acid testing, but the takeaway platform should also set up a health label area for each restaurant on the webpage to let people buy with confidence.

The takeaway shop can prove that your thing is safe, I think it can be used. If your takeaway platform can prove that I am in this store, it already has this kind of health (logo), such as the display of the label, the consumer is more at ease.
[Commentary] At present, Beijing's emergency response level has been adjusted from level 3 to level 2, and it has been controlled by Beijing. Fu Hua said that control measures can effectively block the spread of the epidemic, and he also emphasized that during the epidemic, the public should maintain good personal protection and do not eat cold food.

Beijing has also experienced the first wave of the epidemic. I feel that as long as the current good lifestyle is maintained, such as wearing masks, having social distance, washing hands frequently, and opening windows to ventilate. For now, don't eat some raw food, etc. Everyone can do a good job for everyone. I think our protection work is enough.
