From the City of Riverside's Instagram Account:
The City of Riverside ordered the temporary closure of bars, breweries and wineries on Monday (3/16) and called for restaurants and cafes to be closed for in-restaurant seated dining, and should be open only to drive-through or other pick-up/delivery options. The regulations mirror many suggestions made later in the day by the state Department of Public Health. The sale of food on a take-out basis and for delivery can occur 24 hours per day.
The city’s order came shortly after Riverside County’s Public Health Officer cancelled all gatherings with an expected presence of 10 individuals based on an imminent and proximate threat to public health from the introduction of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in Riverside County. The World Health Organization has characterized COVID-19 as a worldwide pandemic.
“Containment of the virus is critical to our medical system being able to respond appropriately to an outbreak, and these steps will help with that,”@mayor_baileysaid. “This is the next evolution of our efforts to keep Riversiders safe during a global health crisis.”
Late Monday, the state Department of Public Health issued a notice that all bars, wineries, breweries and pubs should be closed, except for venues that are currently authorized to provide off sale beer and wine to be consumed off premises are allowed. Bars, breweries, pubs, and wineries that include meals provided by a full kitchen should follow the restaurant guidance below if they provide delivery or pick-up options.
The department also said that restaurants should be closed for in-restaurant seated dining, and should be open only to drive-through or other pick-up/delivery options. Restaurants also should increase the frequency of cleaning and sanitizing of all hard surfaces, including tables and counter tops used by employees and patrons during pickup/delivery options.
The city rules, which are effective at 6 a.m. on Tuesday (3/17/2020) and last 60 days unless terminated or extended by the City Council, are in place as part of the proclamation of a local emergency to reduce the spread of novel coronavirus COVID-19.
