On Saturday, carry-out customers dined on boxed meals inside The Village Restaurant's parking lot tent at Canton Street and Navajo Trail. Two sides of the tent were still open only partially — the main point of dispute between the owners and health officials.
The governor's comments were in response to problems the Christian County Health Department is having with a local restaurant that refused to stop serving customers after its permit was suspended.
The dispute is apparently over the size of side openings on the tent following Gov. Andy Beshear’s executive order that halted inside restaurant dining Nov. 20 through Dec. 13 because of an escalation of COVID-19 cases.
The changes, effective Monday, are in response to Gov. Andy Beshear’s announcement Wednesday of new, mandatory restrictions aimed at curbing the coronavirus spread in Kentucky.
Attorneys and their clients will still appear in the judge’s courtroom. They will see the judge on a video screen at the bench while he is in isolation at home.
The total number of people voting in the 2020 general election was a local record but the percentage fell short of Christian County’s turnout in other presidential elections.
