Visiting a not secured website

So recently I was looking up a restaurant website and pressed on it. But, a few seconds later I saw that the website was not secure. Will I get a virus or anything? I also updated my phone to IOS 15.6.1 a few days ago.

You can leave it. It’s OK to visit sites that don’t show a lock symbol, as long as you don’t enter any data into the site. All the warning means is that any data you send to the site will not be encrypted. It’s fairly expensive to get a certificate for a site, so a site that is only for displaying data may not bother.
