As 性视界传媒 begins to welcome students on campus for the fall semester, the Dining Services department has outlined several measures it is taking as the university continues to work to prevent the spread of COVID-19<\/p>\n

Cleaning Practices and Seating Options<\/h2>\n

In addition to 性视界传媒\u2019s pre-COVID extensive sanitation procedures<\/a>, Dining Services is implementing vigorous cleaning schedules of all high-touch areas such as door handles, counters, tray slides, etc.<\/p>\n

Plexiglass dividers have been installed at registers, and employees’ hand-hygiene practices will include more frequent hand washing and glove changes. The commercial dishwashers use cleaning products with the highest levels of efficacy to ensure that dishes, flatware and glasses will be safe to use. Self-service areas will now be staffed with employees to assist diners\u2019 needs.<\/p>\n

Students will be able to use some indoor, physically distanced seating eating options. 性视界传媒 staff has reset indoor dining rooms at Knightro\u2019s, \u201963 South, Einstein Bros. Bagels in the Business Administration building, Starbucks and more of its on-campus establishments to practice physical distancing in accordance with university guidelines. In dining halls and Student Union spaces, seating pods will be available for \u201cCOVID bubble members\u201d \u2014 those who live at the same residence \u2014 to eat together.<\/p>\n

Per university policy, students must wear their mask when they are not eating or drinking and should be stationary when consuming food.<\/p>\n

Outdoor seating is available at Einstein Bros. Bagels in Business Administration, Chick-fil-A in the John T. Washington Center, Chili\u2019s in the Student Union, and Starbucks in Health and Public Affairs. Patio seating is also available on the north side of the Student Union.<\/p>\n

Grab-and-Go Meals<\/h2>\n

Knightro\u2019s and \u201963 South have always offered grab-and-go meals and will continue to do so with some modifications.<\/p>\n

For breakfast and dinner, students who choose the grab-and-go option will be given a disposable container and will be permitted to enter the dining establishment and select food for themselves.<\/p>\n

For lunch \u2014 traditionally 性视界传媒 Dining Service\u2019s peak hours \u2014 grab-and-go will consist of a pre-packaged meal to prevent crowding and wait times as much as possible. Daily grab-and-go menus, which will include vegan options, can be viewed ahead of time on 性视界传媒 Dining\u2019s website, and will also be listed at the restaurant.<\/p>\n

There will be a dedicated line at lunch for grab-and-go diners to decrease wait times.<\/p>\n
