Some Americans are starting to feel more comfortable eating at restaurants, but experts are warning of the risk factors..

According to a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people who test positive for coronavirus are approximately twice as likely to have reported eating recently at a restaurant compared to people who tested negative..

The report’s findings were based on an investigation of symptomatic patients at 11 U.S. health care facilities.
