Coronavirus: food delivery safely comes the decalogue

ROME - Adapting normal food delivery activities to extraordinary measures to contain coronavirus infection. And therefore from the separation of the premises intended for the preparation of food from those where it is withdrawn, to the maintenance of the interpersonal safety distance of at least one meter and to the absence of direct contact at all stages, including delivery. These are some of the rules of the new decalogue of good practices to guarantee the delivery service in compliance with the sanitary hygiene measures shared by Fipe, the Federation of Public Exercises and Assodelivery.

A sector, that of delivery, which at the moment estimates an average national loss of 20%, after having discounted more evident drops at the end of February, particularly in the Milan area, but which is showing encouraging signs throughout Italy.

Among the other rules, in addition to the fact that everyone must scrupulously follow the recommendations of the Ministry of Health, the two associations indicate that the restaurateurs make sanitizing products available to their staff, making sure of their use and recommend keeping the interpersonal distance of at least 1 meter in carrying out all activities.

The restaurateurs define areas intended for the collection of prepared food for which they observe extraordinary cleaning and sanitation procedures, separate from the premises intended for preparation. The food is collected by ensuring the interpersonal safety distance of at least one meter and the absence of direct contact.

The food is closed in special containers with bag-close adhesives, staples or other, to ensure maximum protection, to then be immediately stored in the thermal backpacks or in the transport containers which must be kept clean with sanitizing products. Anyone with flu-like symptoms should stay home and stop working.
