Reopening During Delta: How Can Businesses Keep Their Returning Customers Safe?

2021 has been a very important year for businesses in Ireland. As of early August, businesses, especially the hospitality industry, have been given permission to host their returning customers inside their premises. While the main eligibility criteria for indoor dining is customers with authentic proof of vaccination, the majority of the public is getting ready to return to the new normal and continue to live with the virus.

With the arrival of the highly contagious Delta variant, aka the B.1.617.2, the general public has a sense of caution when returning to pubs, bars, and restaurants. Once again, businesses such as the hospitality industry, as well as Food and Beverage, have to adequately prepare to ensure that everyone in their premises is not at risk of transmitting Coronavirus.

Delta Variant and How It Spreads Inside Your Business

The Delta variant, or the B.1.617.2, was first identified in India in December and is now the dominant variant in the US and UK, and it may account for almost 70% of cases in Ireland. The Delta variant of the Coronavirus, just like its predecessors, spreads mainly through infected people when they come in contact with others. The aerosols of an infected person can come in contact with another individual upon breathing or get in contact with their eyes, nose and mouth. Since the Delta variant is known to be highly transmissible, businesses reopening their indoor dining facilities should be careful as the virus can be easily transmitted in enclosed indoor spaces.

How Can Reopening Businesses Stay Safe?

Reopening businesses that are providing an indoor dining experience should ensure that they have adequate measures in place to protect their staff and customers, as businesses are expected to provide proper ventilation, hand and surface hygiene solutions to their customers when they are indoors.
