• The curfew applies to unregulated social gatherings after 10 p.m. so things like driving to or from work don’t aren’t violations. However, the curfew does apply to gatherings both inside and outside the home after that time, excluding residents of the same household. 
• The order does impose new restrictions for restaurants. They are to stop all sit-down food service by 10 p.m. during the curfew, but are allowed to continue service curbside and drive-thru services.
• Restaurants don’t need to clear out any diners who are in their dining room at 10 p.m., they will be given a grace period of 30 minutes after closing. Officials ask though that restaurants take reasonable steps to closing their dining areas by 10 p.m., which could include stopping seating of new customers before 10 p.m.
• Food trucks, like restaurants will be allowed to continue takeout though are asked to encourage people not to linger or gather at the site.
