The City of Dallas has taken some major steps in the wake of preventing the spread of Coronavirus/COVID-19. Following suit of other cities across the country, it has severely limited the number of crowds that can gather at a public event, as well as the operational abilities of our city’s bars and restaurants, including Y.O. Ranch Steakhouse.
Here are some of the important facts about this proactive measure and how you can continue to help our local restaurants thrive during these trying times.
Understanding the Restrictions
According to a news report from NBCDFW on Monday, March 16, the leaders of the City of Dallas and Dallas County ordered that all gatherings are to be capped at 50 people with an appropriate distance of six feet between them.
This news came quickly after reports that President Donald Trump recommended that people limit their social gatherings to ten bodies or less, and that visiting restaurants, bars, and other public places.
Following the 50 person cap and warnings of public locations, the City ordered all bars, lounges, taverns, gyms, nightclubs, and theaters to close their doors until further notice during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Can You Still Eat at Restaurants?
While this mandate also extends to dine-in restaurants, those who still want to venture from their homes for a bite to eat can still do so, with some restricting strings attached. According to the Dallas Morning News, in the best interest of public health, restaurants are limited to services that include:
- Drive-thru
- Carry-out
- Deliveries
So, the answer is yes, you can still enjoy local eateries like Y.O. Ranch Steakhouse; you just don’t get the ambiance and customer service of a sit-down meal.
