COLUMBIA - Starting Wednesday, businesses in Columbia will be able to set their own restrictions regarding masks and social distancing.Â
Health orders will expire May 12 at 11:59 a.m. KOMU 8 talked to nine businesses on what their next steps are.
Boone County Health Director Stephanie Browning and Columbia Mayor Brian Treece announced last week that the city would not extend the current health order after it expires at 11:59 a.m. on May 12. This is due to declining COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations.Â
The Columbia/Boone County Health Department said it will give recommendations rather than orders.Â
âWearing masks, social distancing, and avoiding mass gatherings are still the best ways to keep our loved ones safe, Browning said at the briefing last week. We ll keep working on education and vaccination.

PEORIA A COVID-19 exposure has led another Peoria restaurant to close temporarily.
Rhythm Kitchen Music Cafe, 305 SW Water Street in Peoria, announced Friday it s allowing its staff to be tested for COVID after an exposure that did not take place on the premises. Unfortunately, after making it a full year without exposure, one of our employees has come into contact with a Covid positive individual outside of the restaurant. We have decided to err on the side of caution and close until all of our employees have been tested, a post on the restaurant s Facebook page stated. We put the safety of our customers, employees and their families first above all! Thank you for your support. We will update with hours as soon as we have more information.

Iowa City Press-Citizen
Since 2017, a Mankato, Minnesota-based developer and property manager has been scooping up properties on the south side of College Street in downtown Iowa City s pedestrian mall. Two years of negotiations with city came to fruition Tuesday night, when the Iowa City Council signed off on a tax increment financing agreement to support a major renovation along the pedestrian mall in the city s core.
The Tailwind Group s $56.4 million redevelopment encompasses buildings that, prior to the pandemic, housed El Patron Restaurant to the west through Martini s on the east.
Here s a look at what to expect and what s next:
PEORIA – Much like Bradley University, next to which it sits, The Fieldhouse Bar & Grill is to undergo a winter break.
The restaurant in Campustown Shopping Center on the West Bluff is open through Saturday, then is to close until Feb 2.
COVID-19 restrictions that prohibit indoor dining are a closure factor. But according to Fieldhouse co-owner Elizabeth Dwyer, there are others.
Dwyer cited January as usually being among the slowest months for restaurants, business-wise. Projecting sales and costs, factoring in weather and other uncertainties, it makes the most sense for us financially, she stated about the closure.
The absence of Bradley students and staff also affected the restaurant at 1200 W. Main St., Dwyer suggested.
