While scrolling through my feed, I was surprised to see Esparza's Tacos and Coffee taking lead on social distancing guidelines put forth by the WHO and local military to prevent the spread of COVID-19. I hope that other businesses will follow suit, even though profits are surely to decline, as it may stabilize the economy just enough to ride it through, as opposed to everyone out a job.

Foreign owned ?

Foreign owned ?

Yes. There are quite a few Expat owned restaurants in the Mihama/Chatan area of Okinawa.

This was the first that I've seen take good measures to ensure their doors stay open, to break the fall of the local community that works, as they have quite a few military patrons, which has put out stringent guidelines on meeting in public spaces and requiring takeout for off-base only, to start on-base as well in the coming days. Japanese are just urged to follow similar guidelines, while all SOFA personnel to include dependents must follow these orders.

I just wanted this to serve as a public and permanent reminder of what an Expat owned restaurant did to curb the spread of COVID-19 so that it's not forgotten.
