Phase 4 Updated Restaurant & Bar Establishment Safety Guidelines
Based on a recent increase in COVID-19 cases, these latest safety guidelines which took effect on August 26, 2020 will require restaurant and bar patrons to wear a mask during any interaction with wait staff, food service workers and other employees at these establishments. Face coverings must be worn over the nose and mouth when patrons are approached and served by staff, including but not limited to when employees take patrons orders, deliver food and beverages, and service tables. This guidance will also apply to other facilities with food services areas that are currently subject to the Restore Illinois guidance, such as indoor recreational facilities, museums and entertainment venues.
