The violations in the 12 bars included a lack of social distancing, inadequate spreading out of tables, a lack of facial coverings among customers and employees, failure to sell food with alcohol as required and extending outdoor service beyond the city’s 11 p.m. curfew.
California's Alcoholic Beverage Control agency has issued guidelines on what constitutes as a 'meal' It comes after Governor Gavin Newsom reversed reopening measures last month by ordering all bars to shut While bars are closed, restaurants can still offer outdoor dining across the state Cheese sticks, fried calamari, chicken wings, pizza bites, egg rolls and pot stickers do not count as meals, according to the list

Florida: As cases spiked in the state, Halsey Beshears, secretary of the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, on June 26 ordered bars that derive more than 50 percent of their sales from alcohol to stop selling alcohol for on-premises consumption
