SAFFORD – Graham County Health Department announced new rules for restaurants and other dining establishments due to the Covid-19 virus.
Dine-in service is to be discouraged, instead focusing on drive-through service if available and curbside pick-up.
“Restaurants must establish protocols that will allow customers to have food delivered to their cars; this can include other types of food facilities as well,” Health Department officials said in the statement released Wednesday.
If dine-in is still being offered, the restaurant must ensure that the dining area provides at least six feet of distance between patrons; and that each table, booth and counter be cleaned and sanitized between each customer use.
Also the restaurant is to develop procedures that will allow employees to be distanced from one another as best as possible.
