More than 150 Pennsylvania businesses were warned this week that they will be facing more serious repercussions for defying COVID-19 restrictions.
The restrictions close indoor dining, gyms and theaters until Jan. 4, but businesses already crippled by the pandemic say they can t afford to lose any more cash, and that they can safely stay open.
The state s Department of Agriculture on Wednesday implemented a new set of
enforcement actions for noncompliant restaurants, subjecting them to unannounced inspections, citations of up to $300 for each day they remain open and then if that doesn t work temporary closures. Failure to comply will result in enhanced penalties upon revisit and referral for criminal prosecution for obstructing the administration of law or other government functions, pursuant to the Pennsylvania crimes code, the Department of Agriculture said.
