HARRISBURG (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) - Pennsylvania State Police Liquor Control Enforcement Officers issued 11 warnings to Pittsburgh area businesses not abiding by COVID-19 mitigation efforts on Wednesday and Thursday, the most in the commonwealth.
Police say officers visted 1,804 liquor establishments on July 22 and 23 (496 in the Pittsburgh area) and issued 42 total warnings across the state.
Some of the mitigations efforts bars and restaurants must follow include:
- Require all customers to wear masks while entering, exiting or otherwise traveling throughout the restaurant or retail food service business (face masks may be removed while seated). Further, employees are required to wear masks at all times.
- Provide at least six feet between parties at tables or physical barriers between customers where booths are arranged back to back.
- Ensure maximum occupancy limits for indoor and outdoor areas are posted and enforced.
If you want to file a complaint against a business not following proper coronavirus mitigation efforts, you can call 1-800-932-0602 or online.
