CHAMPAIGN â As lawyers were working on a settlement agreement for Merry-Annâs Diner calling for indoor dining at that restaurant to cease, public-health officials suspended the health permit at yet another local establishment said to be defying a state order intended to slow down the spread of COVID-19.
Champaign-Urbana Public Health District Environmental Health Director Jim Roberts said the health permit for American Legion Post 71, 107 N. Broadway, U, was suspended Tuesday for continuing to serve customers indoors.
It was the seventh health permit local health officials recently suspended in Champaign County after owners disregarded warnings and continued indoor service â currently prohibited by the state at bars and restaurants.
