Beach bar seating to resume in time for Labor Day weekend

September 1, 2020

Effective this holiday weekend, patrons may sit at bars in the Cape Region with certain restrictions, state officials announced Sept. 1 during Gov. John Carney’s weekly COVID-19 briefing. 

Delaware Health Systems Protection Chief Jamie Mack said beach-area businesses have demonstrated improvements and seriousness regarding COVID-19 precautions after the modification to the state-of-emergency declaration closed bar areas in coastal communities on July 3. 

To comply, patrons must have reservations for bar service and order food; seats must be socially distanced between people from different households; and businesses must follow guidance outlined in Delaware’s Phase 2 Reopening Plan.
