Order vegetarian or ither special option, get it usually first and probability of someone doing the same nearby is low, and then eat like you haven't eaten for days before and put mask on before anyone else takes it off - worked fine for me lol.

Also keep ventilation from above right on you at least a little...

Much more frightening were all the people in queues at the airports, bad ventilation, coming close, not wearing a mask at all.

Why so scared? Same reason, didn't want to get even a single day wasted for the first and quite costly vacation, glad it all worked out!
