EXHIBIT A
Occupancy and Social Distancing
Establishments must operate their indoor public areas at no more than 25% of
capacity and their outdoor public areas at no more than 50% of capacity. Indoor and
outdoor capacity restrictions will be calculated and enforced separately. For example, if
the capacity of an establishment is forty guests inside and fifty guests outside, the
maximum number of guests allowed will be ten inside and twenty-five outside.
For those customers being served indoors, the establishment must have all
customers complete the attached health questionnaire. Establishments must maintain the
completed questionnaires and provide them to the County upon request.
Establishments must ensure that all customers only consume food or drink while
seated at a table (not a bar or countertop). The number of customers seated at one table
shall be limited to ten persons, and unrelated groups of customers (i.e., those not from the
same household/party) shall not be seated at the same table. All seated customers must
be seated at their table so that they are at least six feet away from: (a) any other customer
seated at any other table; and (b) any other patron service area. In lieu of compliance
with this six-foot rule, the establishment may use physical barriers to separate a customer
seated at their table from customers seated at other tables and from other patron service
areas.
Establishments shall not allow customers to sit at bars or countertops.
Orders for food and drink may be taken and fulfilled at a counter or bar and
payment for the food and drink accepted, but only if 6 foot social distancing guidelines
are followed with the use of recommended face coverings.
Establishments shall not allow customers to consume food or drink while they are
standing.
To the extent possible, patrons must wait for services off-premises, either outdoors
and maintaining a social distance of 6-ft with the use of recommended face coverings or
in their vehicles. Patrons can remain in the waiting area but should adhere to 6-ft
distancing guidelines.
Fire departments located in Sangamon County will assist Sangamon County
Liquor and Health Inspectors in determining occupancy limits.
Hours of Operation
Establishments may not begin serving the public until 6:00 a.m.
Establishments must close by 11:00 p.m., and no customers shall remain in either
indoor or outdoor serving areas after 11:00 p.m.
