A Los Angeles American café and restaurant filled his open car park with small glass compartments to help his customers feel safe during the Corona Virus pandemic.

The Lady Bird Café in the city's upscale Eco Park neighborhood closed its doors during the start of the pandemic in March.

When the authorities allowed the resumption of cafes' activities in the outer parts of it, its owner Misty Mansouri was ready to convert the car park into a garden that filled it with flowers, herbs and plants, as well as with special glass compartments.

The investment paid off, with the governor of California banning access to indoor cafes and restaurants in most areas of the state in late May, after the incidence of high levels of corona infection and an increase in hospitalization by 50% in two weeks.

Mansouri said that the glass compartments with windows that allow airflow, are cleaned and sterilized after each use and that they adhere to the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines say that the spacing should be six feet (about one meter and 82 centimeters), isn't that right? I took an additional step to make sure customers feel more comfortable."

Tessa Villegas, 34, who hard-nosedly persuaded her reluctant friend Rebecca Haye for lunch outside the home by showing her pictures of the glass compartments on the cafe and restaurant website, described the experience as "amazing."

"I think it is very cool," she said. "That's what I thought we had needed for a long time, which was to combine safety and social interaction."

The only negative that Mansouri sees in this unique experience is that during the day in the sweltering summer of Los Angeles it will be hot inside the rooms despite the windows and fans.

But she stressed that the experience "is really great in the evening and also very amazing in the morning."
