We can tell you that restaurants opened here for Indoor Dining 6 weeks ago and it really made a big difference up to that point you know they were doing takeout may be something on the patio.

The loft wine bar and restaurant in benicia the chairs are still stacked up on top of the tables inside the restaurant. Thats because a lot of county is among those the state has shut down for Indoor Dining due to concerns over covid19 scared. Really watching restaurants and other Small Businesses go out of business. In record numbers of never seen so many closures, the reason for the shutdown of Indoor Dining in Solano County is due to an uptick in covid19 hospitalizations. Weve had a doubling in the number in our daily hospital census. So we had been averaging in the range of 15 to 20 People Per Day hospitalized and over the last several days weve been running 38 to 41. But a lot of countys Health Officer says the increase in hospitalizations as well as cases is not due to things like Indoor Dining quite the contrary. The reason that were seeing the surge is mostly because of people having. Family gatherings and social gatherings on the weekend and in addition, we also have a pretty sizable outbreak among migrant farm workers. And the Health Officer says the shutdown of indoor activities may not have much impact on the numbers unless these social activity stop. Back at the loft wine bar and Restaurant Business has been good since Indoor Dining reopen 6 weeks ago. Now though just have to survive with dining on the patio. We have we have more tables outside than we do in sight. But its actually going to impact us negatively. The county Health Officer said even though the eus dining indoors isnt whats affecting their numbers, he feels like the state really has no control when it comes to stopping family gatherings or social gatherings among friends. This is something they can do in terms of Indoor Dining or movie theaters and thats why theyre doing it. But the county Health Officer says if we really want to bring the numbers down here in Solano County people have to Pay Attention that means Wearing Masks staying home and social distancing.
