CUMMING, Ga. — On Tuesday, Mayor Troy Brumbalow and Police Chief David Marsh signed a COVID-19 Emergency Management Order which suspends all on-premises consumption of food at restaurants, delis, bars and all other eating establishments within the City Limits of the City of Cumming.
The order will go into effect at 12:01 a.m. on Wednesday, April 1, and will remain in place until a subsequent order is made by the City of Cumming.
According to the order:
- All food-service establishments within the Cumming City Limits must cease all dine-in and/or patio service for food and beverages.
- Establishments that are exempt from the order are hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and personal care homes.
- Food-service establishments within the Cumming City Limits which have a current pouring license may sell new, unopened containers of alcohol along with to-go food orders.
- Establishments are allowed to sell up to six new, unopened malt beverages and two bottles of wine in conjunction with a food order of equal or greater value than the alcohol order (no alcohol-only sales are permitted).
- Penalties for violation will include fines and imprisonment.
Mayor Troy Brumbalow said he felt it was important for the City of Cumming to enact this order at this time. “We find ourselves in an unprecedented point in American history and these times call for unique measures,” he said.
“This order puts the City of Cumming and Forsyth County, which enacted a similar order on March 27, on the same footing regarding our community’s food-service establishments, which creates less confusion for both businesses and residents throughout our community," the mayor added.
