Burger King informs customers that from now on its employees will wash their hands

Our Response to COVID-19

We are taking the coronavirus pandemic very seriously.

That's why, beginning today, all Burger King employees will be required to wash their hands.

We understand that new information surrounding COVID-19 and the changing landscape of our everyday routines have many of you feeling concerned about contracting the viral illness or passing it on to other vulnerable loved ones. We at Burger King also know that our customers will continue to crave our delicious flame-grilled Whoppers, expertly salted french fries, ice-cold beverages, and other fresh tasting sandwiches, sides, and desserts. 

We are monitoring the situation closely and taking important steps to help protect the health and safety of our guests and team members. One protocol that WHO and CDC recommended to us right away was, “Please, please start washing your hands for the love of all that is good on this green earth.”

We listened. 

Given the competitive nature of the fast food industry, it’s likely that McDonald’s and, maybe, Wendy’s will follow Burger King’s bold move. Chick-Fil-A has its own, superior protection system, far removed from such earthly concerns
