An Iowa City restaurant has agreed to pay a $1,000 fine after being cited by the state for alleged COVID-19 violations.
According to the Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division, Players on Iowa Avenue failed to comply with the governor’s October 16th Proclamation of Disaster Emergency by: failing to ensure at least six feet of physical distance between each group or individual dining or drinking alone; failing to limit patrons from congregating together closer than six feet; failing to ensure that all patrons were seated at a table, booth or bar while consuming their beverages; and/or failing to implement reasonable measures for increased hygiene practices.
The violations occurred on or around October 24th.
On Tuesday the state announced it had reached a settlement agreement with Players that includes a $1,000 fine.
Last month Bo James on East Washington Street was closed for two days after its license was suspended for similar violations.
