Sarah Palin, who is unvaccinated, recently dined indoors in New York City before testing positive.

[Zorro]

Sarah Palin, who is not vaccinated against the coronavirus, dined indoors Saturday night at Elio’s, an Italian restaurant on the Upper East Side of Manhattan that regularly draws celebrities, despite New York City’s requirement that all indoor guests show proof of vaccination. She tested positive for the virus on Monday.

“We just made a mistake,” said Luca Guaitolini, a manager for the restaurant, who was not working Saturday night but confirmed Ms. Palin’s visit. In an interview on Monday, he said that the restaurant checked vaccination cards for all first-time customers but not for regulars who come each week, and that Ms. Palin had dined with a longtime guest, whom he declined to name.

“She probably just walked in and strolled over” to the table, Mr. Guaitolini said. “We are trying to get to the bottom of this.”

Ms. Palin’s lawyers did not respond to a request for comment. Mr. Guaitolini said that the restaurant was notifying customers that they had been exposed to the coronavirus, and that the staff would be tested this week.

20. The restauranteur is lying, full stop. Celebrities get a pass, as well as friends.

Money talks, science takes a walk.

10. Dumpy, catching pinkie feels, while Caribou Barbie tries to

Peel him off like static cling on a cheap suit.

Pathetic.

5. Didn't the restaurant break it's own rules

And New York rules?

[woodsprite]

11. Seems the restaurant should be fined. nt

[Golden Raisin]

13. Yes, I live in Manhattan.

To dine indoors at a restaurant you are required to present proof of vaccination.

[brewens]

15. Someone gave her a pass intentionally. Makes you wonder who else and how often they let

slide?

[wnylib]

23. One reason why I do not

go to restaurants now. Can't trust customer, staff, or management to do the right things.

I am even wary of takeout. How do I know whether the person who packaged it coughed or sneezed while handling it - after it was cooked. Or coughed on the packaging that my hands will touch and then put the food to my mouth.

Extra cautious? Yes. I have three strikes against me if O get infected - age and two health conditions.

6. Sorry Guaitolini, that reply doesn't excuse it.

She was let in because of who she is and they didn't want to inconvenience her. Or maybe they were afraid of her wrath had they asked her. In any event, innocent people who did have to prove they have been vaccinated were exposed. People who trusted that only other vaccinated people were in the restaurant. Hopefully nobody gets sick from the spittle of Palin.

[tishaLA]

7. Fine the fucking restaurant, too.

And shun Palin, of course. But that's nothing new.

[Cha]

9. & Sue Palin for sneaking in.

Wonder if any of the Staff will get in trouble since the manager wasn't there that Sat night?

[Cha]

8. Palin snuck in without a card

and now she has COVID & Elio's has to scramble to make sure she didn't spread tffg's VIRUS.

A Cautionary Tale Keep SP out of your restaurants, NYC.

[Johonny]

12. can't libel the dead

[Hekate]

14. The manager is not best pleased with Wasilla Barbie. She snuck in, & now he has to phone all...

…his clientele.

[NullTuples]

16. Justice would be shutting down the restaurant for 5 days - with pay for emoployees.

[Demobrat]

17. Hopefully the servers are all vaccinated

and won’t get too sick if they do get it.

[IbogaProject]

18. $1000 fine is in order

A $1000 fine of the restaurant owner is in order if there is solid evidence.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

19. Superspreader Sarah

[monkeyman1]

22. She reminds me of "Major traitor gangrene" !!

[FreepFryer]

24. Palin lied, the restaurant lied. Shut them both down for it (Nt)

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

25. I wouldn't come within a hundred yards of that shrieking Karen Covid farm.

Common sense dictates that when that hot mess enters a room, you leave immediately.
