The department coordinates its inspections based on traditional food and safety guidelines along with the Department of Health s current mitigation guidelines, which include 25% occupancy for indoor dining (unless a restaurant is self-certified), on-site alcohol consumption must include a meal purchase, and an 11 p.m. curfew for alcohol sales.
Restaurant enforcement has been handled by the Department of Agriculture, the Pennsylvania State Police Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement and local authorities.
