Governor's Shutdown Order - FAQ
What happens to guests that have not finished their meal by 9:30?
Upon consultation with legal counsel and analysis of the order, we recommend the following:
-
No new guest may admitted into your restaurant after 9:30 pm, except for take out orders
- No new alcohol sales or delivery after 9:30 PM
- Guests should be permitted to finish meals and previously ordered beverages in order to get home by 10:00 to comply with stay-at-home order.

According to a recent analysis fewer than two percent of cluster infections (infections involving two or more cases) have occurred in restaurants in the last month.
