CōV Wayzata, previously among 14 bars and restaurants cautioned last month for non-compliance with COVID-19 safety measures, has now been declared COVID compliant, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS).
Last month, the establishment, along with others, faced warnings for instances of employees violating mask requirements, failing to adhere to social distancing protocols with tables less than six feet apart, and allowing patronage beyond the prescribed 50 percent capacity.
Assistant Commissioner Booker Hodges of the DPS expressed gratitude for establishments actively working to curb the spread of COVID-19 by adhering to essential guidelines. Hodges remarked, “We can all do our part to help keep our businesses safe by wearing a mask, social distancing, and adhering to establishment seating limits.”
As part of a comprehensive enforcement effort, law enforcement officers conducted surveillance on 919 restaurants and bars across the state, scrutinizing compliance with safety measures between July 4 and July 13. The subsequent achievement of COVID compliance by CōV Wayzata and the other establishments signals progress in the collective effort to maintain public health standards amid the ongoing pandemic.
The other 13 bars and restaurants initially warned include:
- Neisen’s Sports Bar, Savage
- K & J Catering , North St Paul
