With different states and communities taking different approaches, expectations aren’t clear.
Though we’re not all bar owners, the new tool is helpful from a customer’s perspective, too, as it shares what you can look for to assure that establishments are up to CDC standards. The first major recommendation is that reopening should “be consistent with applicable state and local orders,” which is actually worth considering: If a bar is the only one open in your entire city, that's a red flag.
Digging into specifics, the guidance is broken down into two groups: one for health and safety and one for monitoring. For the first group, keep an eye out for things like hand-washing stations and employees wearing face coverings.
“Monitoring” is harder for customers to observe, but it’s not impossible. For instance, the CDC says bars and restaurant should “develop and implement procedures to check for signs and symptoms of employees daily upon arrival”—so if you see a server run in the front door and immediately get to work, that could raise an eyebrow.
Finally, the CDC also tells restaurants and bars to “regularly communicate and monitor developments with local authorities” and to “be ready to consult with the local health authorities if there are cases in the facility or an increase in cases in the local area.” There’s a takeaway for customers here, too: We all want to get back to going out, but if a fresh “spike” occurs in your area, eating out may simply become riskier than it was before.
