US gov't study shows more COVID19 risk from bars, restaurants
WASHINGTON - A new study by US health authorities published Thursday provided more data showing that, when it comes to catching COVID-19, visiting bars and restaurants is far more dangerous than going shopping, working from an office, or using public transport.
The new report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention isn't perfect: it can't confirm definitively where people in the cases it studied were infected. They realized that the participants who tested positive and those who tested negative reported similar mask-wearing behavior and similar levels of exposure in all the settings except bars and restaurants.
The risk was even higher for bars when the analysis was restricted to participants who hadn't reported exposure to a person with a known case of COVID-19.
