When restaurants and bars re-open Monday with outdoor service only, will they have to keep logs of customers in case the state Health Department needs to do COVID contact-tracing? Minnesota Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm says it’s *not* required. She says, “We did say in the guidance that it would be a preferred practice for restaurants and bars to be taking reservations, but really that was more about controlling size of occupancy.”
Malcolm says even though customer logs are *not* mandatory, they *are* a valuable source of information if there’s a COVID outbreak in a particular establishment.
