It's lunchtime in Rome during the coronavirus pandemic. Restaurant owner Maria Chiari De Felici brings the menu to a customer. He'll have to keep his hands to himself however if he plans to place an order. Most customers welcome this new way to view a menu. They're happy. Some are surprised and intimidated at first, but then they realize how easy it is to use. Customer Stefano Pratti scans a quick response or QR code,beaming the restaurants menu to his phone. He still verbally places his order,but since he's not actually touching a menu, risks of spreading Covid-19 drop. Good news for Pratti.

Finally after two and a half months of imprisonment, I'm at a restaurant. It's satisfying and if you eat well, it's even better. With staff in a kitchens equivalent of personal protective equipment or PPE, restaurant owners like De Felici hope this is just one step back toward pre-pandemic life. I think we all want to return to life the way we lived before, nothing more. Obviously I hope that with time people trust us more,and take confidence in the extreme safety measures were using here. In addition to masked chefs and scannable menus,the owner cut in half the amount of seating here,and when customers leave, the staff disinfect their tables and chairs.

在家隔离了两个月，我现在终于来到了餐馆里。这很令人满意，如果你吃的不错的话，就更好了。厨房里的员工们都穿着个人防护设备，像德·费利奇这样的餐厅老板希望这是靠近疫情前生活的一步。我想我们都想要回到以前的生活而已。很显然，我希望随着时间的推移，人们可以更加信任我们，并对我们这里使用的极度安全措施充满信心。除了戴口罩的厨师们和和可扫描的菜单，餐厅老板削减了这里一半的座位，顾客离开的时候，员工们会对桌椅进行消毒。记者阿拉什·阿拉巴萨迪，美国之音华盛顿新闻。
