Coronavirus response | 2 more Champaign County restaurant owners heading to court

CHAMPAIGN — Local authorities are seeking temporary restraining orders against two local restaurants that are continuing to operate with suspended health permits. Hearings have been set for Thursday for temporary restraining orders filed by the Champaign County State’s Attorney’s Office against Lil Buford’s, 102 N. Long St., Tolono, and by the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District’s attorney, Ruth Wyman, against Merry-Ann’s Diner, 1510 S. Neil St., C. The health permits for both restaurants were suspended earlier this month after they continued to serve indoors in violation of a state order forbidding indoor service at bars and restaurants in an effort to control the spread of COVID-19.

Coronavirus response | Settlement pending for Merry-Ann s; health district suspends another permit

CHAMPAIGN — As lawyers were working on a settlement agreement for Merry-Ann’s 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 — currently prohibited by the state at bars and restaurants.
