Argentinean Infectious Society published a consensus document: https://www.sadi.org.ar/novedades/item/954-recomendaciones-inter-institucional-para-la-prevencion-de-covid-19-sadi-sati-adeci-ine
It recommends to use disposable tableware for COVID patients or suspected cases. If not possible, PPE should be used to handle and wash used dinnerware.
In my hospital, meals for this cases are handled by the nurse (with appropiate PPE) instead to minimize personal entering patient room.
Please share what changes our facilities are doing. It might be helpful to others!
