Question

Take a few minutes to reflect on some of the changes you have personally witnessed in the way businesses are operating during this Covid 19 Pandemic; reflect on at least two types of businesses ( for example: airlines, retail establishments, online retailers, schools, gyms, bars, hotels, ride-sharing, landscaping, delivery services, pet grooming, beauty salons, barbershops, and much more.) 1. Describe any changes you noticed that are designed to protect both the businesses and their customers. 2. Will these changes you described help business to avoid civil or criminal liabilities, or expose the businesses to liability

Answer 1

answer-

The fast food restaurants like MCdonalds, starbucks and ride sharing companies like Uber, ola made changes in thier business to protect themselves as well as customers. since Corona virus has become liability for everyone so businesses are making changes in how they do business.

for example- Mcdonalds and starbucks like fast food restaurants are taking only take away orders or order via drive thru. They check tempeture of their employees, sanitize sitting area and kitchen are to sanitize the stores. These changes protect businesses from going down because online food delivery and take away orders bring some profit. It protects customers to have food made in sanitized environment.

Uber drivers give their temp updates to company and check the temp of customers. They install a protective plasting film in between the car so that no contact can be made between driver and customer. Cars are sanitized before and after customer get the service. This protect UBER like companies to provide their services in more safe manner and protect driver and customers from contracting the virus.

Yes, these changes will help businesses to avoid civil liabilities. for example- if these business does not implement these social distancing, sanitization and temp checking rules then they are doing TORT as civil wrong to put others in harm.

for example- Mcdonalds negligently failed to sanitize their working area and employees and food got corona virus and reach to customers then Company will face negligence tort case because COVID-19 will cause harm that customer and person with whom the customer contacted.
