Arizona Restaurant Association Resources: https://azrestaurant.org/coronavirus/
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Arizona Governor: https://azgovernor.gov/
4/7- Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey issued a series of coronavirus-related executive orders Tuesday, including
one that requires travelers to Arizona from hard-hit states New York, New Jersey and Connecticut to self-
quarantine for 14 days. https://azgovernor.gov/executive-orders
From the Arizona Restaurant Association:
4/7 -Today, Governor Ducey issued an Executive Order clarifying that restaurants may repackage and
sell raw food items and other products directly to the public - similar to a grocery store. The Arizona
Restaurant Association thanks Governor Ducey for making this important clarification that allows
restaurants to access new revenue streams and provides options to consumers.
In a press release Governor Ducey said "Even with dine-in and carry-out options still available to
patrons, many Arizona restaurants are struggling due to COVID-19. Today’s Executive Order provides
flexibility for restaurant owners to safely sell prepared and bulk foods or supplies they have on hand
and can’t use right now. We are proud to support Arizona restaurants with this reform.”
The Executive Orders state that:
 Restaurants currently licensed or permitted to serve prepared food may sell grocery items
including, but not limited to, paper goods, cleaning supplies, prepared food in bulk, meat and
vegetables whether or not those items are normally packaged for resale, provided the
following:
o Food sold must be wholesome and unadulterated.
o Open ready-to-eat foods must be within the date marking requirements to be sold.
o Products requiring refrigeration must remain under temperature control (41-degrees or
less) until ready for pick up or delivery.
o Customers should be instructed to get food home quickly and placed under
refrigeration.
o Bulk household goods should be sold in their original containers.
o Raw meats should be separated from other foods, especially produce and other ready-
to-eat food items to prevent cross contamination.
o Businesses shall assess their customer traffic flows to ensure a takeout or curbside
business model will maintain the Governor's social distancing requirements
The order also contains other provisions such as waiving the enforcement of Weights and Measures.

3/31- Today, Governor Ducey announced the deferral of all liquor license fees by 90 days. In
yesterday's update, the ARA reported that liquor license renewals were still due. However, in response
_______________________________________________________________________________________
to continued industry concern, Governor Ducey issued a press release clarifying that liquor license
renewals will be delayed as part of his previous Executive Order.
This deferral is effective immediately, however businesses will still need to apply for a renewal under
the 90-day deferral program. We are still waiting on additional information from the Department of
Liquor Licenses and Control and once we have that we will send out another update.

Governor Ducey Issues "Stay Home" Order
3/30 Today, Governor Ducey issued an Executive Order requiring individuals to limit their time away
from home and limiting business activity to essential services. The order establishes the "Stay Home,
Stay Healthy, Stay Connected" policy for the State and goes into effect at 5:00PM tomorrow, Tuesday,
March 31, 2020 and continues through April 30, 2020.
Restaurant operations are listed as an essential service, and in his address Governor Ducey clarified
that "restaurants across the state will continue to offer takeout and delivery services." The Governor
further encouraged individuals to "please patronize your local restaurants and be as generous as you
can with your tips."
What does this mean for restaurants and restaurant employees? As stated above, restaurants are
listed as an essential service and can continue to operate takeout and delivery operations and
restaurant employees may continue to report to work as normal. There is NOT a requirement that
individuals carry papers or provide any proof that their activities fall under essential services, so there is
no need for owner/operators or employees to issue letters or have proof they are traveling to or from
work.
The ARA will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
Read the Stay Home Executive Order
Read the Essential Services Executive Order

Per the Arizona Restaurant Association on March 23rd:Governor Ducey's Executive Order Includes
Restaurants as Essential Service
Today, Governor Ducey issued an Executive Order defining what businesses and operations are
considered "essential" by the State. The order included restaurants off-premises operations in the list of
businesses. This action prohibits counties, cities, and towns from issuing any order that prohibits the
performance or function of an essential service. In a press release, Governor Ducey said "Arizona is
focused on limiting the spread of COVID-19, while providing relief to families, individuals and businesses
impacted. This proactive order will ensure the state has one consistent, overarching policy that is based
on CDC and public health guidance — allowing business owners and workers to responsibly plan ahead.
We will continue to proceed with a calm and steady approach and act with urgency, while providing
certainty whenever possible.”
The order defines restaurants off-premises operations as:
_______________________________________________________________________________________
 Restaurants and other facilities that prepare and serve food, but only for consumption off-
premises through:
o in-house delivery
o third-party delivery
o drive-thru
o curbside pickup
o carry out
The order defines a multitude of other services and business as essential including the suppliers that
restaurants rely on.
Read the Governor's Executive Order
Previous: The Arizona Department of Public Health strongly recommends that dining establishments in
areas of known community spread (including Maricopa, Pima and Pinal counties) discourage dine in
traffic and instead provide curbside pickup or drive thru service.
Cancel or postpone gatherings of 10 or more.
COVID-19 Emergency Measure Allowing Restaurants to Sell Alcohol

for Off-Premise Consumption Guidance
On Friday, March 20, 2020, the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control (DLLC) issued
rules to implement Governor Ducey’s Executive Order 2020-09, which allows restaurants to offer
alcohol for sale along with delivery and takeout orders. Today, DLLC issued a guidance
document for implementation.
DLLC Guidance:
 Restaurant licensees may temporarily sell alcohol through delivery, pick-up, and curb-side
service.
 Restaurant licensees that use pick-up and curb-side to sell alcohol must still only allow
individuals 18 or older to sell the alcohol.
 Beverages sold for delivery, pick-up, or curb-side service must be in a "sealed container" -
a sealed container is any container of spirituous liquor which:
o has an unbroken tax seal from the United States, or
o has a cap, cork, or seal placed there by the manufacture.
 Licensees may sell mixed drinks if they seal the container before removing it from the
licensed premises and ensure the seal remains in place until the consumer takes
possession.
 Licensees may seal containers by capping and applying a plastic adhesive seal or by
corking flush with the top of the bottle.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
 Licensees using delivery to sell alcohol must comply with the documentation requirements
outlined by DLLC which can be accessed by visiting
https://azliquor.gov/forms/inv_recdelivery_access.pdf.
Arizona Restaurant Association Guidance:
Third-party delivery services
Alcohol deliveries should be made by restaurant employees and only made to individuals over the
age of 21 with an ID that matches the name on the form of payment. Third-party delivery services
lack crucial safeguards that help protect you from losing your liquor license, liability damages, and
reputational damages. There is currently no way for third-party delivery services to perform proper
ID checks and verify the ID matches order details nor is there a way for this to be documented as
part of the record requirements. Additionally, since orders processed by third-party delivery
services are paid to the third-party delivery service and not directly, to the restaurant it would be a
violation of Arizona Liquor Law since payment for alcohol must be paid to a licensed
establishment. It is for these reasons we strongly advise against offering alcohol for sale through a
third-party delivery service at this time until further clarification is offered by the appropriate
authorities.
Insurance Considerations
There are two important insurance issues to consider when thinking about offering alcohol for sale
with delivery or takeout.
The first, does your liquor liability coverage have an exclusion for alcohol delivery or takeout and is
your coverage sufficient for the expanded activity? You are highly encouraged to check with your
broker and ask if you are covered at the appropriate level of your new offering.
Second, if you are using employees to perform the delivery of alcohol (which is recommend by the
ARA – see above) in their personal vehicles, you should check with your broker to make sure you
have the proper coverage for DELIVERY. Your employees will need to have certain minimum
limits on their personal coverage, and they should check to see if they are allowed to use their
vehicles for business purposes. Ask your broker if the combination of your employee’s personal
auto policy and your business auto policy is enough to protect you? Bottom line check with your
broker and describe the activity you will be performing and ensure your policies are able to
cover you!
We highly encourage restaurants to reach the full DLLC guidance memo:

_______________________________________________________________________________________
Last night Governor Ducey announced that he was taking additional steps to curb the spread of
COVID-19. One such step is ordering the restriction of restaurant activities to takeout, drive-thru
and delivery options. In a statement the Governor said, “These latest actions are based on the
facts and on data, and come after careful consultation with public health experts from every county
in Arizona, our hospitals, local elected officials, and private sector partners.”

California Governor: https://www.gov.ca.gov/
STATEWIDE
On March 31, six Bay Area counties issued new social distancing protocols along with an order extending
shelter-in-place until May 3. Here are the counties’ recommendations on the best practices for restaurants
and cafes, in addition to already established sanitary behaviors, and what diners should expect in order to
stay safe.
Q: What kind of signage should be made available?

A: Each public entrance must have a copy of the official social distancing protocol posted. In addition, the
protocols require a sign that tells both customers and staff that they should: “avoid entering the facility if
they have a cough or fever; maintain a minimum six-foot distance from one another; sneeze and cough
_______________________________________________________________________________________
into a cloth or tissue or, if not available, into one’s elbow; and not shake hands or engage in any
unnecessary physical contact.”
Q: How can human contact be effectively minimized?
A: Avoid having customers and staff touch shared surfaces and tools by eliminating self-service stations
with silverware and napkins and disallowing reusable containers. If customers must sign receipts, show
them that the pens have been sanitized, and give them a separate container to return used pens. Sanitize
everything customers touch after each use: touchscreens, counters and check presenters. Cash and
cards should be handled with care by people who won’t be touching food or utensils — either with gloves
changed between each transaction, or with the liberal use of hand sanitizer. To that end, provide hand
sanitizer at the register for customers and cashiers.
Q: How should customers be made to follow social distancing?
A: Limit how many people can be in the space, or in front of the space. Estimate how many people can
be inside while maintaining 6 feet of distance from each other, then make that number the maximum
allowed inside at any given time. Have one dedicated staffmember stand at the entrance to implement the
policy and remind people to stand 6 feet apart while waiting.
Implement environmental social distancing reminders as well, like drawing lines on the sidewalk with
chalk or painter’s tape to show customers where to stand while waiting.
Q: Is wearing gloves enough to combat the virus?
A: While disposable gloves and hand sanitizer are helpful, they don’t replace hand washing. Staff should
change gloves after touching shared utensils, cleaning and any other action that would potentially
contaminate a sterile area.
Q: What are the best practices for staffing?
A: Restaurants should rearrange kitchen layouts and menu offerings to force at least 6 feet of space
between staff. For instance, having two people on the pasta station working elbow-to-elbow would violate
social distancing orders; it would be better to streamline the menu so one person could handle that
station alone. That may mean downsizing: Owners and managers should be realistic about what can be
produced with a staggered schedule and smaller staff.
Owners and managers should be flexible with sick leave. Don’t ask for a doctor’s note, especially now
that health care providers are slammed. Discourage staff from showing up if they are ill, and eliminate
financial barriers to staying home. That means paying people who might be exposed to the novel
coronavirus to not show up to work for the full two-week quarantine period. While Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act privacy rules restrict managers from asking staff directly about illnesses,
it is to everyone’s benefit that management is generous with sick leave. The protocol does require
symptom checks before staff begin work, so it’s essential to have managers be aware of what to check
for—fever, fatigue, and dry cough.
The city of San Francisco has promised to reimburse small businesses that have employees in San
Francisco with up to $10 million in sick leave during the coronavirus outbreak.
Staff’s individual needs should be taken into account when assigning roles. If someone is a caretaker for
a vulnerable loved one, or lives with people who are at higher risk for fatal infections, allow them to set
their own comfort levels with tasks that could potentially expose them to the virus.
Post hand-washing signs in all of the public and employee-only restrooms and food prep areas of your
business.
Re-useable Containers: It is a voluntary law and not recommended to allow reusable containers at
this time.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
3/19 - Per the New York Times: Gov. Gavin Newsom of California on Thursday ordered Californians —
all 40 million of them — to stay in their houses as much as possible in the coming weeks as the state
confronts the escalating coronavirus outbreak. The order represents the most drastic measure any
governor has taken to control the virus, and a decision that Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York, which
has far more cases than California, has resisted taking.
The order requires all indoor malls, shopping centers, playgrounds and other “non-essential” retail
businesses to close. “Essential businesses” include restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies, food banks,
farmers markets, convenience stores, hardware stores and gas stations.
3/19 Per California Restaurant Association: Sunday afternoon Governor Newsom directed restaurants
statewide to cut their seating capacity in half and practice “social distancing” between guest parties.
Monday night Governor Newsom moved away from that request and directed restaurants
statewide to operate only via take out, delivery, drive thru, and curb side pick-up.
The California Department of Public Health has issued the following resource that indicates:
“Restaurants should be closed for in-restaurant seated dining and should be open only to drive-through or
other pick-up/delivery options.”
https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/OPA/Pages/NR20-024.aspx
The California Department of Beverage Control has also issued the following:“For any licensee with on-
sale retail privileges, the guidance indicates you should cease exercising those privileges immediately.
Further, you should follow the directive from Public Health to cease on-restaurant seated dining.”

Clarification on Gatherings of 10+ and Staffing
The order restricting groups of more than ten from gathering does not include staffing, per the Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment. Your staff can be larger than ten, but you should follow the
CDPHE guidelines for restaurants AND restrict customers who have come in for take-out to five or fewer
in your space at one time. Customers waiting in line should be six feet apart from one another.
The Public Health Order closes:
 Brew pubs, breweries, microbreweries, distillery pubs, wineries, tasting rooms, special licensees,
clubs, public bars, taverns, restaurants, food courts, cafes, coffeehouses, cigar bars, gyms,
gymnasiums, theaters, and casinos to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus

3/25: Update on Denver Breweries and Stay at Home Orders
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Denver has added breweries to its list of essential businesses, which are exempt from the City's Stay at
Home Order. There is a caveat: Establishments licensed as Brew Pubs may sell for off-site consumption.
Breweries MAY be able to sell for off-site consumption if they have an “approved for salesroom,” which is
a permit from the state. If the brewery does not have this permit, it cannot sell for off-premise use.
Wineries may not sell for outside consumption. Read more here.

Previous: The Denver Department of Public Health & Environment's (DDPHE) public health investigators
will visit all Denver food facilities (3000+), prioritizing facilities with onsite food handling and/or onsite
consumption, and those with highest likelihood of customer/environmental surface contact (places like
fast food facilities--think of all the surfaces people can touch while waiting in line, ordering, getting
beverages, etc.), as well as those with buffets.
Food trucks will receive this information, although they are lower priority due to the fact there is little
touching of surfaces by customers during their transaction.
Visits will involve delivering signage that is required to be posted at the facility entrance and in
restrooms reminding customers about the importance of washing their hands and not dining out when
having symptoms of respiratory illness.
Visits will also provide guidance on restricting ill food handlers and frequently disinfecting high-touch
environmental surfaces.
DDPHE will require that this info be posted under 24-16 DRMC. Facilities that fail to comply may be
subject to enforcement action under 24-24 DRMC.

IF YOU ARE AN ESSENT IAL BUSINESS, BELOW IS GUIDANCE TO KEEP YOUR STAFF
AND YOUR COMMUNITY SAFE
_______________________________________________________________________________________
The following COVID-19 infection control measures must be enforced for businesses providing essential
services to remain open.
 Teleworking must be maximized, especially for individuals at highest risk of poor outcomes, such
as those over age 60 and those with chronic underlying conditions.
 Follow all State and CDC guidelines and recommendations for social distancing for staff and
customers. Social distancing means remaining out of congregate settings, avoiding mass
gatherings, and maintaining distance (approximately 6 feet or 2 meters) from others when
possible (with the exception being healthcare workers using appropriate PPE).
 Screen all staff for symptoms and illness prior to entering worksite.
 Separate sick employees from other individuals immediately.
 Prohibit employees who have been told they must be isolated or quarantined from work until they
have been cleared by DPH or a medical professional.
 Have handwashing stations and / or hand sanitizer readily available for all employees throughout
the day. Staff should wash hands with warm water and soap when entering and leaving worksite.
 Enforce cough and sneeze hygiene, such as coughing into your elbow.
 Follow all State and CDC guidelines and recommendations for environmental cleaning.
 Prohibit visitors inside worksites unless they are providing essential services.
Employers must stress to employees that they are not to come to work when they are sick. We recognize
that is a difficult ask – especially for small businesses – and for employees whose paychecks depend on
every hour that they do work. But limiting public interactions of those who are sick is an important
mitigation strategy to help limit the spread of COVID-19 in Delaware.
This is a rapidly evolving situation in Delaware, in the U.S., and across the world. Recommendations from
the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO)
are subject to frequent change.
ESSENTIAL SERVICES S CREENING RECOMMENDAT IONS FOR COVID-19 PANDEMIC
To help protect the public against the spread of COVID-19, Governor John Carney and Delaware Division
of Public Health Director Karyl T. Rattay, MD, MS, strongly recommend that all employers screen
employees each day before work. Read the Essential Services Screening Policy, dated March 22, 2020
What Employers Can Urge Employees to Do to Minimize the Spread of Illness
_______________________________________________________________________________________
In addition to encouraging Delawareans to get their flu shot, the Division of Public Health recommends
these everyday measures to prevent the spread of all germs. This helps limit the spread of COVID-19.
 Cough or sneeze into your elbow, not your hand. If you use a tissue, dispose of it right away.
 Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and warm water, including the backs of
your hands and under your nails. If you do not have access to soap and water, use an alcohol
based hand sanitizer (at least 60% alcohol) until you can wash your hands.
 Do not touch your face, eyes or mouth with unwashed hands.
 Clean frequently touched surfaces at work, home or school.
 If you are sick, stay home and avoid interactions with people who are well.
 If you have an underlying chronic medical condition, consult with a health care provider about
further steps you can take to protect yourself and others.
Previous:
 Bans public gatherings of 50 people or more

 Restaurant, taverns and bars are permitted for food take out and delivery orders only. The
license of all on-premise licensees that serve or sell alcohol is suspended. On-Premise
Licensees may only provide food and non-alcoholic beverage service through take-out, drive
through and off premises delivery.
 As of 8:00 p.m. March 18th through the cancellation of the State of Emergency. Allowance to any
restaurant, brewpub, tavern or taproom with a valid on-premise license to sell alcoholic
beverages as a part of transactions for take-out food or drive through food service. Alcohol sales
cannot exceed 40 percent of the total sales transaction. All other rules and regulations regarding
the take-out of alcoholic beverages apply, containers must be securely closed. On-site
consumption of alcoholic beverages is prohibited.

consumption is permitted by the holders of these permits to the extent permitted by law or rule.
C. Liquor permit holders authorized to sell for on-premises general consumption may sell and deliver
beer, wine, mixed beverages or spirituous liquor by the individual drink for off-premises consumption,
provided the following requirements are met:

https://coronavirus.ohio.gov/static/publicorders/Directors-Stay-At-Home-Order-Amended-04-02-20.pdf
Per the Ohio Restaurant Association: 3/22- Report from Governor DeWine’s News Conference
Today:
Gov. DeWine Announced the Ohio Department of Health Director’s 'Stay at Home' Order
For the restaurant industry, the most critical information is the new Order that says All Persons Stay at
Home Unless Engaged in Essential Work or Activity.
In the Order (which is posted on the ORA website) under item #12, Essential Business and
Operations includes:
 Restaurants for consumption off-premises. (see Section 12 (o) of the Stay at Home Order)
 Restaurants and other facilities that prepare and serve food, but only for consumption off-
premises, through such means as in-house delivery, 3rd-party delivery, drive-through, curbside
pick-up and carryout.
 Supplies and support necessary for Essential Businesses is referenced in Section 12 (q)and (v)
of the Order)
_______________________________________________________________________________________
The state is raising the level of the fight against the Coronavirus pandemic to an official order that
will restrict public movements.
Gov. DeWine said the order signed by Department of Health Director Dr. Amy Acton would go into effect
at 11:59 p.m. Monday, March 23rd, and is in effect thru April 6th (at which time it will be reassessed). It will
require citizens to remain in their homes with certain exceptions.
 Those permitted exceptions include "essential activities" involving health and safety, gathering
necessary supplies and services, outdoor activities except for closed playgrounds, certain types
of work deemed essential, or to take care of others, he said. (see Section 5 of the Order)
 The governor's order also lists essential businesses that will be allowed to stay open (see Section
12 of the Order) and provides guidelines for their operations. Gov. DeWine said those will include
mandated protocols to protect the public health, such as social distancing of at least 6 feet,
washing hands, the availability of sanitizing and cleansing supplies for customers and workers,
and more (see Section 15 of the Order). "These are just basic, common-sense things that we
have already covered", he said.
 The order, however, comes with the heft of enforcement, which the governor said will be pursued
by local health departments and local law enforcement (see Section 17 of the Order).
 The state's action follows those by California, Illinois and New York, which have issued what
some officials have characterized as "shelter in place." "It's pretty much the same thing," Gov.
DeWine said. The state’s order heavily follows US Department of Homeland Security guidance
related to essential personnel - READ MORE.
 Lt. Gov. Husted announced a specific page on the state’s coronavirus resources page dedicated
to business resources and relief – READ MORE.
 Gov. DeWine also announced restrictions on daycares that will become effective Thursday. As of
that day, all daycare centers must operate under a temporary pandemic license that will limit
services to six children per room and teacher, he said. Guidelines for daycares will also include
"rigorous cleaning" schedules and recommendation for no common space, he said. Daycares are
directed to keep children and parents of the same employer together, and limit interactions at
drop-offs and pick-ups.
 If you think you have been exposed to COVID-19 and develop a fever and symptoms, such as
cough or difficulty breathing, call your health care provider for medical advice. Go to
Coronavirus.Ohio.Gov and the Department of Health hotline, 1-833-4-ASK-ODH, with
questions.
Previous: Effective 9:00pm on 3/15/2020, all sit-down style food service facilities, including bars, will be
Ordered Closed.
If you have the capacity to operate via carryout or delivery, you may continue to do so. There is no
timetable for when this order will end.
Facilities who violate this Order will be subject to an immediate suspension of their food license.

 We opposed Bills 1538 of the Senate and 2428 of the House of Representatives, on grounds of
the substantial negative impact to the business and employers.
 We sent a letter to the Governor requesting the urgent approval of subsidies and extensions that
would help, not only businesses that cannot open their doors but to those that, although partially
operating, are suffering a significant economic losses as a result of the COVID-19 emergency.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
 On Friday, March 20, after a meeting in the Governor’s mansion, another letter was sent to the
governor presenting specific requests and necessary actions.
 To better understand the economic status of the industry, we conducted an electronic survey (a)
asking an estimate of loss in sales; (b) if they were currently operating; and (c) if they expected to
continue operations in a limited way. The preliminary results were:
o Almost 80% of those surveyed revealed that they estimated their sales losses in about
75% or more.
o Even so, due to their commitment to their employees and customers, 50% expected to
continue operating during this period of crisis. We are planning on repeating this survey
in the near future for updating purposes.
We have made ourselves available to the government, through the Puerto Rico Business Emergency
Center to serve as liaison, support, tactical advice and communication in both ways of our industry
We have kept our communication channels open (social networks, e-blasts, website) to report on actions
with the government, resources and information to our members.
A social media campaign: "Open restaurants, ready to take your order" was created with the intention to
support restaurants that, despite being open, are economically affected by the implemented restrictions.
Similarly, we carry the message that our industry is highly regulated, so food handling is done by taking
all possible precautionary measures.

On Tuesday (March 17), Gov. Henry McMaster announced that all bars and restaurants statewide must
cease offering dine-in service, effective Wednesday (March 18). Gatherings of more than 50 people are
also banned across the state, the South Carolina Post and Courier reported.
The Governor is encouraging all affected facilities to provide take out, drive through or delivery
service. Patrons may come into the facility to place orders. However, to promote social distancing, we
are encouraging that orders be taken via phone, online or at a service window.
Retail stores, convenience stores and hotel breakfast service may continue to offer self-service food
service such as grab and go, hot dog and pizza or other food pick up; however, any seating areas need to
be closed.
Guidance Regarding Enforcement:

http://www.sled.sc.gov/documents/COVID/Executive%20Order%20Guidance%20(FINAL).pdf
South Governor Henry McMaster has issued Executive Orders that have altered the normal course of
business, particularly for restaurants.
Executive Order (2020-10) PROHIBITS food service establishments from selling food or beverages of any
kind for on-premises consumption in the State of South Carolina through Tuesday, March 31, 2020. The
Governor has authorized, permitted, and encouraged “to-go” orders, whether via delivery, carry-out or
drive-thru distribution, curbside pick-up, or other alternate means.
EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 2020-10
Executive Order (2020-12) ALLOWS current holders of a valid Beer and Wine Permit, as set forth in the
Executive Order, to sell or deliver beer and wine in a sealed container for curbside delivery or pickup and
off-premises consumption.
EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 2020-12
Limit Personal Interaction to the Greatest Extent Possible.
 Utilize and encourage online ordering or ordering via telephone when possible. Limit personal
interactions that take place physically inside restaurants. Allow customers to order, pay, and
receive their food and beverage without entering the location if possible. Remember, The
President’s Coronavirus Guidelines for America encourages us all to, “AVOID SOCIAL
GATHERINGS in groups of 10 people.”
 Remember, selling FOOD and BEVERAGE of ANY KIND for ON-PREMISES consumption is
strictly prohibited by the Governor’s Executive Order. Selling food and/or drink to consume on-
premises while an individual waits for his or her “to-go” order is unlawful at this time.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
 Utilize and encourage curbside pick-up, delivery, and drive-thru options. Simply posting a number
for customers to call when they arrive and providing curbside delivery/payment will help
tremendously in the effort to reduce the spread of the virus.
 If individuals must wait for their orders to be completed, we encourage you to practice social
distancing. Again, the hope in restricting on-site consumption of food and beverage is to limit and
contain the spread of COVID-19. Maintaining at least a 6-foot distance from other individuals is
recommended, even while waiting for “to-go” orders. Practicing social distancing between
employees and patrons is recommended.
CHARLESTON
 Large gatherings have been banned.

STATEWIDE
3/31- Governor Greg Abbott today issued an Executive Order implementing Essential Services and
Activities Protocols for the entire state of Texas. The protocols direct all Texans to minimize non-essential
gatherings and in-person contact with people who are not in the same household. The Governor’s
Executive Order renews and amends his previous order enforcing federal social distancing guidelines for
COVID-19, including closing schools and instructing Texans to avoid eating or drinking at bars and
restaurants. The protocols allow exceptions for essential activities and services based on the Department
of Homeland Security’s guidelines on the Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce. Examples of these
_______________________________________________________________________________________
essential services include healthcare, grocery stores, banking and financial services, utilities, child care
for essential service employees, and government services.
Today’s Executive Order follows the decision by President Trump and the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) to enhance social distancing guidelines and extend the deadline for these
guidelines to April 30th.
“Social distancing is our best tool in the fight against COVID-19, and the actions we have taken thus far
have proven to be effective in limiting the spread of this virus,” said Governor Abbott. “Now it is time to
redouble our efforts to reduce further exposure as much as possible and flatten the curve. As with all the
actions the state is taking, the Essential Services and Activities Protocols is informed by the expertise and
guidance of the CDC as well as state and local health officials. I urge my fellow Texans to heed these
heightened social distancing directives to protect their health and the health of those around them. By
following these guidelines, we will limit the spread of COVID-19 and overcome this challenge together.”
The Executive Order renews and expands the Governor's previous directive to minimize social gatherings
and minimize contact with people who are not in the same household. It also renews the Governor's
directive to avoid eating or drinking at bars, restaurants, and food courts, and visiting gyms or massage
establishments, and it expands the order to include tattoo studios, piercing studios, and cosmetology
salons.
In accordance with federal guidelines, people are still prohibited from visiting nursing home, state
supported living centers, assisted living facilities, or long-term care facilities unless to provide critical
assistance. Additionally, schools will remain temporarily closed to in-person classroom attendance
through May 4, 2020.
This Executive Order does not prohibit people from accessing essential services or engaging in essential
daily activities, such as going to the grocery store or gas station, providing or obtaining other essential
_______________________________________________________________________________________
services, hunting or fishing, or engaging in physical activity like jogging or bicycling, so long as the
necessary precautions are maintained to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 and to minimize in-person
contact with people who are not in the same household. The order also includes exemption for religious
services conducted in churches, congregations, and houses of worship. All critical infrastructure will
remain operational, and government entities and businesses will continue providing essential services.
TDEM will maintain an online list of essential services specified in the Governor's Executive Order at
www.tdem.texas.gov/essentialservices/. Other essential services may be added to this list with the
approval of TDEM.
These orders will be effective on a statewide basis starting at 12:01 AM on April 2, 2020 and will end on
April 30, 2020, subject to extension thereafter based on the status of COVID-19 in Texas and the
recommendations of the CDC.

Effective March 19th-The following orders have been issued by Governor Abbott:
 Order No. 1: In accordance with the Guidelines from the President and the CDC, every person in
Texas shall avoid social gatherings in groups of more than 10 people.
 Order No. 2: In accordance with the Guidelines from the President and the CDC, people shall
avoid eating or drinking at bars, restaurants, and food courts, or visiting gyms or massage
parlors; provided, however, that the use of drive-thru, pickup, or delivery options is allowed and
highly encouraged throughout the limited duration of this executive order.
 Order No. 3: In accordance with the Guidelines from the President and the CDC, people shall not
visit nursing homes, retirement, or long-term care facilities unless to provide critical assistance.
 Order No. 4: In accordance with the Guidelines from the President and the CDC, schools shall
temporarily close.
These orders will be effective on a statewide basis starting at 11:59 PM on March 20, 2020 and will end
at 11:59 PM on April 3, 2020, subject to extension thereafter based on the status of COVID-19 in Texas
and the recommendations of the CDC.
This executive order does not prohibit people from visiting a variety of places, including grocery stores,
gas stations, parks, and banks, so long as the necessary precautions are maintained to reduce the
transmission of COVID-19. This executive order does not mandate sheltering in place. All critical
infrastructure will remain operational, domestic travel will remain unrestricted, and government entities
and businesses will continue providing essential services.
For offices and workplaces that remain open, employees should practice good hygiene and, where
feasible, work from home in order to achieve optimum isolation from COVD-19. The more that people
reduce their public contact, the sooner COVID-19 will be contained and the sooner this executive order
will expire.

Under Chapter 81 of the Health and Safety Code, Commissioner Hellerstedt's Public Health Disaster
Declaration triggers a number of important tools for state and local officials to respond to COVID-19:

decontaminate, and seal off property that might be contaminated.
 It authorizes health authorities to take additional control measures that they see fit to control and
eradicate the threat to public health.
 It streamlines the process for state and local health authorities to invoke the courts to enforce
quarantines of individuals.
 Activates enhanced tools for DSHS to collect disease and health information and to share that
information with law enforcement personnel and first responders as appropriate.

 Reduce seating to no more than 10 patrons
 Suspend service to standing patrons and bar seating
 Consider allowing only takeout or delivery orders during a portion of your day
 Consider partnering with an online food ordering or delivering platform
 Discourage large dining parties
Suggested Control Measures to Reduce the Spread of COVID-19 in Food Establishments
Perform routine environmental cleaning
 Routinely clean frequently touched surfaces, including menus and digital ordering systems, condiment
containers, salt and pepper shakers, countertops, doors and door handles, etc., with the cleaners that
are EPA-approved for emerging viral pathogens. Use all cleaning products according to the directions
on the label.
Provide additional precautions for customers within the establishment
 Make sure to keep employee and customer bathrooms stocked with soap and paper towels.
Handwashing is one of the best ways to prevent COVID-19 transmission.
 Ensure adequate supply and convenient placement of alcohol-based hand sanitizers for use by
customers inside food establishment.
 Provide extra supplies of napkins or tissues for customers to use when coughing or sneezing.
 If customer self-service is done within the establishment, consider additional employee oversight so
contaminated surfaces can be cleaned, and any contaminated food or utensils can be removed.
Based on volume and peak usage of self-service areas, replace utensils in these areas more frequently.
Ensure food in self-service areas is properly protected using covers and sneeze shields
