# Interview with Kevin Freeborn | Food Safety and Covid-19

![Kevin Freeborn](https://www.foodsafetymarket.com/hs-fs/hubfs/download.png?width=48&height=48&name=download.png)

 Kevin Freeborn

March 25, 2020

A great chat with one of our past food safety trainers, Chef Jason McBride.  Kevin Freeborn is the President and co-founder of the Food Safety Market.  The company develops and delivers food safety courses.

This discussion offers practical thoughts on how food handlers can apply what they have learned during their training to help prevent outbreaks and flatten the curve.  Skills taught during training such as staying home when you are ill; proper hygiene and handwashing; cleaning and sanitizing and safe food preparation and distribution go along way to keeping viruses under control.

COVID-19 has many operators feeling overwhelmed so it is important to know you have already prepared for much of the challenge - you are not starting from scratch.
