COVID-19 is still a real threat. It never went away, even though sometimes it may not feel that way so much because we are getting to a new normal. The city may look lively when you walk downtown or on a main business avenue in a neighborhood. Yet, from the health perspective, COVID remains a highly contagious virus that spreads easily from person-to-person and is a major threat to those with compromised immune systems.

We too want to see the full, unmitigated return of restaurants and cafes for all to enjoy, and for the owners and staff to earn their living. To get there we must all do our part. To date, we have been able to reopen because so many of you all have followed directions on safety protocols and have put into practice smart operations that follow the best health guidelines. In order to continue to allow you all to remain open, we must ensure that all continue to follow the rules until this threat has passed us.
