One restaurant was forced to closed in this region because it allegedly violated the state order restricting dine-in services.

That’s according to the state Department of Agriculture, which continues to enforce the prohibition of dine-in services at cafes and restaurants in Pennsylvania, including in Clinton, Centre and Lycoming counties.

The state Department of Agriculture on Tuesday released data related to COVID-19 restaurant enforcement actions from Dec. 14-20.

There are restaurants in the area defying the order.

In response and due to customer complaints, across the state the agency recently issued 180 written warnings to restaurants violating the dine-in ban and ordered 40 of those businesses to close.

One restaurant in Clinton County was given an warning while another was inspected.

Centre County had one restaurant closed due to violations, saw two complaint-driven inspections and four warnings.

Lycoming saw 13 inspections, but no warnings or closings during the period.

There have been multiple inspections in all three counties since the virus mitigation restrictions were ordered by Gov. Tom Wolf just before Thanksgiving.

Eateries in Pennsylvania are limited to offering carry-out, delivery and curbside pick-up services.

Employees must wear masks.

The prohibition to dine-in services is temporary to Jan. 4, but that could change.

Inspections and enforcement actions take place during routine food safety inspections and inspections prompted by consumer complaints, the agency said.

From Dec. 14-20, the department’s Bureau of Food Safety performed 493 inspections, 89 of which were complaint-driven. Of those, 84 were COVID-19 specific complaints. The department received 428 food facility COVID-19 related complaints, and 87 of those COVID-19 related complaints were referred to local and county health jurisdictions.

In addition, the department issued 180 written warnings to restaurants reported to be violating the temporary dine-in prohibition. Of those 180 warnings, 40 restaurants were closed by order after they were confirmed to be open for dine-in service and refused to comply with the order.

The limited-time mitigation order includes:

— All in-person indoor dining at businesses in the retail food services industry, including, but not limited to, bars, restaurants, breweries, wineries, distilleries, social clubs, and private catered events is prohibited.

— Outdoor dining, take-out food service, and take-out alcohol sales are permitted and may continue, subject to any limitations or restrictions imposed by Pennsylvania law, or this or any other order issued by the Secretary of Health or by the governor.
