What is the way to avoid spreading germs in the restaurant?

  1. Using the same gloves for all tasks

  2. Washing your hands thoroughly and never touching food with your bare hands

  3. Working quickly to serve food faster

  4. Ignoring minor symptoms like a cold

The correct answer is: Washing your hands thoroughly and never touching food with your bare hands

Using the same gloves for all tasks (A) can actually spread more germs as you are not changing gloves between handling different foods or tasks. Working quickly to serve food faster (C) may lead to mistakes and not following proper hygiene practices. Ignoring minor symptoms like a cold (D) is not only harmful to your own health, but can also put others at risk for getting sick. The best way to avoid spreading germs in a restaurant is by washing your hands thoroughly and never touching food with your bare hands (B). This ensures that any potential germs on your hands are removed before coming into contact with food, reducing the risk of contamination.
