Chicago reimposes a mask requirement for dine-in restaurant guests

Employees will also be required to wear a face covering.

Guidelines released on the brink of enactment leave restaurants with more than a few questions.

The recommendation applies to workers in high-risk areas, regardless of whether they've been vaccinated.

The state liquor authority says it's already arranging meetings with suspected transgressors.

A survey shows little support for the measures, largely because operators fear constant conflict with guests.

The mandate also applies to restaurant employees.

-The requirement will be phased into place starting Aug. 20. Children under the vaccination age of 12 are exempted.

The Board of Supervisors has directed health, consumer-affairs and legal officials to have a feasibility study ready within two weeks.

Places that mandate proof of inoculation from all dine-in guests and employees won't be obliged to reinstate a mask requirement.
