The executive order allows restaurants to sell to-go alcoholic beverages until 5 p.m. on January 31.
âThis order will help people avoid settings that can contribute to increased viral spread while giving restaurants and bars a financial boost that they need right now,â Cooper said. âWith cases and hospitalizations high around the country, letâs all do our part to slow the spread of COVID-19 while supporting local, small businesses safely.â
High Country law enforcement has seen few, if any, issues so far related to the order.
Andy LeBeau, chief of Boone Police, said because the provision requires the alcohol to be in some kind of sealed container, it makes it âpretty easy.â
