Palabras clave: Covid-19, Higiene, Encuestas y cuestionarios, Manipulación de alimentos, Pandemias

Resumen

Objetivo: La investigación tuvo como objetivo investigar los cambios provocados por la pandemia de Covid-19 en los hábitos de los manipuladores de alimentos en restaurantes de la ciudad de Maringá, estado de Paraná, Brasil. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal del 8 de noviembre de 2021 al 6 de abril de 2022, con un número inicial de 832 restaurantes seleccionados aleatoriamente, de los cuales se visitaron 256, de los cuales 50 aceptaron participar en la encuesta. La encuesta constó de 92 preguntas y se dividió en seis secciones. Resultados: Cubrirse la boca al estornudar o toser, usar mascarilla y guantes al manipular alimentos y desinfectar los envases de alimentos fueron las prácticas más utilizadas durante la pandemia. Conclusión: Los resultados permiten concluir que, si bien las buenas prácticas de manipulación ya están bien establecidas en los servicios de alimentación, se observó una intensificación de las prácticas adoptadas por los manipuladores de alimentos durante la pandemia de Covid-19.
