• Saturday, March 21, 2020

Credit card purchases are strongly recommended to avoid cross-contamination with any source of pollution, such as money, cell phones and other utensils.
Food handlers must wear gloves and change them as often as necessary, as they can be a source of cross-contamination and transmit false security, as dirt accumulates with regular use. It is also mandatory to provide disposable gloves to customers as well.
Persons with symptoms of fever or fever should stay home and not go to the workplace or shopping centers and inform their referring GP or call 116 according to the established protocol.
