High-risk family members should stay home and attend virtually.

Be a Responsible Customer, Help Businesses Remain Safely Open:
As a normal daily habit, wear your mask whenever outside your home.
At restaurants, wear your mask when walking in and out, when seated at the table, looking at a menu, walking to the restroom, and waiting for your food or check.
No seat, no service. If a table is not available upon your arrival, you must leave.
All establishments are prohibited from on-premise service from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. daily. Please be respectful by not lingering after 10:00 p.m.

Once you reach capacity, you must turn people away.
Ensure customers and staff are wearing masks.
Ensure customers and staff are maintaining a safe social distance.
Do not seat parties close to 10:00 p.m.
Maintain sanitation and other safe business practices, per State, County and City Emergency Orders and according to CDC Guidelines.
