Reconfigure, restrict, or close common areas, like employee break rooms, provide alternative where
physical distancing can be practiced, and discourage employees from congregating in high traffic
areas.
Reconfigure kitchens to maintain physical distancing in those areas where practical, and if not
practical, stagger shifts if possible, to do work ahead of time.
Close or increase distance between tables/chairs in breakrooms or provide break areas in open space
to ensure physical distancing.

Additional Considerations for Bars:
Discontinue activities that encourage movement and shared items between guests including karaoke
singing, open mic performances, trivia activities, mixers, pub crawls, etc.
Discontinue services and activities that carry an increased risk of contamination from sharing and
splashing and such as drinking games and/or contests, drop shots, etc.
Consider limiting excessive consumption of alcohol that could deter guests’ compliance with these
guidelines.
Close dance floors and discontinue performances such as musical or dance acts that encourage large
gatherings.
E.
Additional Considerations for Winery/Brewery/Distillery Tasting Facilities:
Provide a clean glass for each tasting and, if possible, do not pour beverages into a glass that a
customer has already used (smelled, tasted from, etc.)
Discontinue the use of communal dump buckets, spit buckets, spittoons, etc. Provide individual,
disposable cups to each guest instead to avoid splash contamination between guests.
Do not touch beverage container necks to cups, glasses, etc., when pouring wine, beer, or spirits.
Take measures to ensure that tasting group appointment times do not overlap to minimize interaction
of people from different groups and places.
Discontinue tours that combine individuals from different households into the same tour group. Tour
guides must maintain at least six feet of physical distance from customers/visitors.
