Eating in a restaurant, will you feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable when you encounter a waiter serving dishes without wearing a mask?

In the future, it will become a legal obligation for catering service employees to wear masks.

On January 21, the 25th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13th Fujian Provincial People's Congress voted to pass the "Regulations on Wearing Masks for Food Service Practitioners in Fujian Province", which will come into effect on February 1.

This is also the country's first special legislation on wearing masks for catering service employees.

  Who needs to wear a mask?

The "Regulations" clarify that catering service personnel engaged in direct contact with imported foods such as processing, production, and delivery of food should wear clean masks when working.

  Who can supervise?

The "Regulations" specify that catering business entities should accept the supervision of the public, industry associations and media.

  How to punish?

The "Regulations" clarify that employees who fail to wear masks as required should be ordered to make corrections. If they refuse to make corrections, individual industrial and commercial households will be fined 50 yuan and other catering business entities will be fined 200 yuan up to 1,000 yuan.

  The promulgation of the "Regulations" will further improve the sanitation level of catering services in Fujian Province, and better protect consumers' health and life safety.
