Restaurants in Washington state will be required to keep a log of each dine-in customer to facilitate contact tracing during phase two of the state's coronavirus reopening plans.

As part of the requirements, the log must be maintained for 30 days and must include each customer's telephone number and email address, and what time they came in to eat, according to officials.

These people are dense. Sooo... what good is the log? Suppose customer X has contact with someone else before, during, or after the meal and signed the log? And he tests positive a week later. What then?

Thanks! Have a great day!
