It will reinforce handwashing and hand sanitization, hold training sessions instructed by the public health center, and sanitize tables after meals are served. In addition, regular health checks for all staff involved in restaurant operations and study sessions on food poisoning will be conducted. The kitchens will be disinfected by specialist contractors, and inspections of cleaning equipment used in dining areas will be carried out more frequently.
