A group of California wineries and restaurants sued Gov. Gavin Newsom and the state public health officer this week in an effort to overturn the state’s ban on outdoor dining and wine tasting.
The Wine Country Coalition for Safe Reopening, a group of more than 50 businesses in Napa and Sonoma counties, alleged in the lawsuit that California’s ban is arbitrary, irrational and unfair, and that it has hurt local businesses and thousands of workers who lost their jobs.
California added new COVID-19 restrictions in early December amid rising coronavirus cases and hospitalizations. The state hit a high of more than 45,000 new cases reported in Dec. 18, according to Johns Hopkins University.

Upset with the state s decision to shut down outdoor dining this past December, a consortium of over 50 restaurants, wineries, tasting rooms and suppliers across Napa and Sonoma counties has filed a lawsuit Tuesday against California Gov. Gavin Newsom, The Chronicle reported. The group of restaurant owners says there is no rational basis for the ban on outdoor dining, calling December s order arbitrary, irrational, and unfair.
Pointing to the lack of scientific evidence stating that outdoor dining furthers the spread of COVID-19 among other issues with the ban the lawsuit says December s shutdown order constitutes a violation under the California Constitution s equal protection and due process.
