Sarah Palin, who is not vaccinated against the coronavirus, dined indoors Saturday night at Elios, an Italian restaurant on the Upper East Side of Manhattan that regularly draws celebrities, despite New York Citys requirement that all indoor guests show proof of vaccination. She tested positive for the virus on Monday.
We just made a mistake, said Luca Guaitolini, a manager for the restaurant, who was not working Saturday night but confirmed Ms. Palins visit. In an interview on Monday, he said that the restaurant checked vaccination cards for all first-time customers but not for regulars who come each week, and that Ms. Palin had dined with a longtime guest, whom he declined to name.
She probably just walked in and strolled over to the table, Mr. Guaitolini said. We are trying to get to the bottom of this.
Ms. Palins lawyers did not respond to a request for comment. Mr. Guaitolini said that the restaurant was notifying customers that they had been exposed to the coronavirus, and that the staff would be tested this week.

(21,907 posts)go to restaurants now. Can't trust customer, staff, or management to do the right things.
I am even wary of takeout. How do I know whether the person who packaged it coughed or sneezed while handling it - after it was cooked. Or coughed on the packaging that my hands will touch and then put the food to my mouth.
Extra cautious? Yes. I have three strikes against me if O get infected - age and two health conditions.

(9,498 posts)She was let in because of who she is and they didn't want to inconvenience her. Or maybe they were afraid of her wrath had they asked her. In any event, innocent people who did have to prove they have been vaccinated were exposed. People who trusted that only other vaccinated people were in the restaurant. Hopefully nobody gets sick from the spittle of Palin.
