Some restaurants are providing plastic tents so people can stay separated from each other while they eat. But are these tents a safe way to eat out during the coronavirus health crisis? Health experts say outdoor tents are a little safer than eating inside. But, not all tents are equal, they add. Many restaurants are putting up single tents, and other outdoor structures that let people who are eating together avoid being indoors. The coronavirus spreads more easily when people are indoors. Experts say the tents should have good air circulation. A tent with four walls and a roof, for example, might not have better air circulation than an indoor dining room. “The more airflow through the structure, the better it is,” says Dr. Isaac Weisfuse.
