As I am sure you know, the Governor of Georgia issued 39 requirements for restaurants to open on Monday. Restaurants can resume providing dine-in services under the following conditions (among others). We created this PDF for download to help as well.

  • No more than 10 patrons per 500 square feet are allowed inside at once.

  • All employees are required to wear masks at all times.

  • Employers must screen and evaluate workers who exhibit signs of illness, such as a fever over 100.4 degrees and a cough or shortness of breath.

  • Restaurants must post signs that say no one with symptoms of COVID-19 can enter.

  • Party size is limited to no more than 6 per table.

  • Salad bars and buffets are no longer allowed.

  • Restaurants must use pre-rolled silverware.

  • Items must be removed from self-service drinks, condiments, utensils, and tableware stations and have workers provide those items to patrons.

  • Patrons must be kept separated while waiting to be seated through floor markings or waiting in cars.

  • Workers who show signs of illness can’t come into work. Employees who have COVID-19 must self-isolate for 7 days and be fever-free and symptom-free for 3 days before coming back to work.

  • Employers must train employees on the importance of frequent handwashing, use of hand sanitizers, and avoiding touching their faces.

  • Playgrounds must stay closed.
