The Kent County Health Department has developed very specific health and safety guidelines for foodservice businesses to follow, building on advice and input from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Restaurant Association, Michigan Restaurant and Lodging Association, and West Michigan COVID-19 Business Coalition. While masks and social distancing are no longer required inside restaurants, many continue to prioritize customer safety in other ways – conducting daily staff wellness checks, implementing CDC-approved cleaning and sanitizing protocols, and more.
