Primo’s Family Restaurant, similar to most of the restaurants in the Mount Vernon area, has put out a sign on their door that says order out only. Primo’s has also started offering delivery as well starting the day after St. Patrick’s Day. Primo’s Family Restaurant in the Belle View Shopping Center has no previous experience of this new venture, but desperate times require desperate measures. They have assigned to the wait staff who had some free time since no one was coming in to dine anymore.
According to www.connectionnewspapers.com, "A few doors down at The Virginia Florist, the delivery procedure was a little different. Flowers will be left at the door to minimize contact and thwart the spread of the coronavirus, and there are three florists on duty instead of their usual four. “It’s been slower but we’re still open,” said Charlotte Simmons, who has become a pro at making her own hand sanitizer too. She mixes it 91 percent rubbing alcohol and nine percent aloe vera, according to a recipe she found online. “It’s real easy,” she said."
As per www.connectionnewspapers.com, "On March 17, Northam tweaked his initial plan with rulings to restrict public gatherings to 10 people or fewer, including at restaurants, protecting high-risk Virginians, increased support for affected employers and employees, closing DMV offices, delaying court rulings on evictions and suspending utility service disconnections for 60 days. As far as the foodservice industry, Northam also encouraged restaurants to continue to carry out and takeaway options only, his document stated."
