London, Ky. (WYMT) – Monday, Governor Andy Beshear announced new restrictions on bars and restaurants in Kentucky.
”Restaurants are already clean and doing all the appropriate things, and now we’re going above and beyond. So, it is a little frustrating to be targeted,” said Brittany Cradic co-owner of The Abbey in London.
The new restrictions closed stand-alone bars and limited restaurants to 25 percent of the maximum indoor capacity.
“We can do it for two weeks. I mean, we’re, we’ll do whatever we can for the community, and to make sure everyone is safe,” said Cradic.
Cradic expected Monday’s announcement and was keeping a close eye on the increasing numbers.
”For the last three to four weeks I’ve been paying a lot of attention to it because I had a feeling the governor’s new mandates we’re going to be coming out,” said Cradic.
Now, they await the next two weeks and hope that numbers decrease and people still come out to eat.
”My biggest message is we put up a tent, we have a lot of outdoor seating. We are taking every precaution, we are making sure to disinfect, still, come out and eat and, if you aren’t comfortable coming out and eating, going to to-go’s. We don’t care to bring your order out to you or if you can walk in for just a few minutes,” said Cradic.
25 percent capacity is 26 people for The Abbey.
