I guess I understand the logic with it not being foodborne, but it just seems wrong:
WASHINGTON COUNTY, Md. (WDVM) — "According to the Washington County Health Department, restaurants in the county will not be shut down by the health department if one of their staff members is infected with COVID-19.
The Health Department says this is because COVID-19 has not been proven to be a foodborne illness. Restaurants are also not required to tell the public if a staff member has tested positive for the virus.
“We would not close a food service establishment because of COVID-19,” said Washington County Health Department Deputy Health Officer Medical Director Diana Gaviria.
The FDA released guidelines for restaurants to follow if a staff member does become infected, which includes disinfecting the restaurant."
