As some states begin to allow restaurants to open their dining rooms, the possibility for the virus to spread remains massive. A recent viral (so to speak) video in Japan shows just how easily the coronavirus can spread. Using black light and a fluorescent substance, the public broadcaster NHK teamed up with disease specialists to simulate the spread of germs in a restaurant setting, The Guardian reports. When the black light was turned on, Covid-19 germs can be seen smeared across plates, food, utensils, and even on the faces of some guests. In a second experiment, the same environment was used to show the benefits of improved hygiene, where guests washed their hands before and during the meal.
