With classes suspended, social distancing in place and a slew of recently released New York State regulations in place, Cornell Dining is adapting to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19 in dining halls. Long lines were common in many Cornell Dining eateries during peak hours last week –– the end of self-service slowed down food pickup. Self-service has been eliminated from all Cornell Dining eateries since March 17, according to the Cornell Dining website. According to the Cornell Dining website, disposable plates, cups and utensils have replaced reusable ones –– people are not allowed to reuse cups even within the dining hall. The Cornell Food Pantry, located on 109 McGraw Place, provides food and personal care items to Cornell undergraduate and graduate students, staff and faculty.
