OHIO — The Ohio Restaurant Association is responding to the fact that it has received reports of some establishments acting inconsistently with the reopening guidelines that Gov. DeWine put into place.

The association’s statement reinforces what guidelines all establishments must be following during the reopen process.
“It is important to know that under the current state order, open congregate areas of bars and restaurants remain closed, and all guests must be seated when eating or drinking. Social distancing in lines and between tables is required, and most employees will be wearing facial coverings. Especially as Ohio’s restaurants and our guests adjust to operating under these new safe operating guidelines, restaurants and bars should have someone assigned on each shift to take responsibility for assuring these requirements are met," said a press release from the Ohio Restaurant Association.

The organization says they believe the reported incidents are isolated and not reflective of the industry’s overall capability to reopen safely.
“The vast majority of Ohio’s restaurants and bars have met or exceeded all that is required of them to responsibly restart their businesses."
