PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – State Police issued five warnings and six notices of violations after visiting businesses in the Pittsburgh area to ensure they were complying with COVID-19 restrictions.

From Monday, March 15 through Thursday, March 18, State Police Liquor Control Enforcement officers visited 803 licensed liquor establishments across the state and issued 15 reports of violations and 35 warnings.

The unannounced compliance audits ensure that companies are tracking efforts to mitigate the coronavirus, such as: B. wearing masks, social distancing and limited occupancy.

The Pittsburgh Enforcement Office police visited 125 companies and issued five warnings and six reports of violations.

It did after Governor Wolf announced this week that it would ease restrictions on businesses and restaurants from April 4.

Bars and restaurants that have reported a violation are not named as they are being investigated. Each Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement office publishes details of citations later this month.

A notification of a violation is given before an administrative quote, according to the police, and is intended to inform the institutions which violations have been found. State Police say violations may come up against an administrative quote, and persistent violations put a company’s alcohol licensing at risk.

If you have a complaint about a licensed facility that is not in compliance with the coronavirus mandates, you can call 1-800-932-0602 or file a complaint online.
