The governor of Arizona has announced that restaurants in that state can reopen on May 11. The Arizona Restaurant Association has created a set of guidelines for restaurants to follow so they can reopen safely. Here is the message from the association:
Guidance for Reopening Restaurants on May 11, 2020
Today, Governor Ducey announced that restaurants may resume dine-in operations on Monday, May 11, 2020. Restaurants choosing to reopen will need to implement protocols and best practices for guarding against the spread of the Coranavirus. To assist restaurants in this process, the Arizona Restaurant Association has developed "Welcome Back to the Table: Restaurant Guidance on Reopening Dining Room Operations." This document contains the guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) as part of the Governor's order, as well as a series of best practices.
The Arizona Restaurant Association worked with industry leaders, public health experts, restaurant operators of all sizes, and our supplier partners to develop these guidelines to assure customers that the restaurant industry is taking a leadership role in protecting our community. While not enforceable by law, these guidelines should serve restaurants as they analyze the best and safest way to welcome customers back to the table.
