Reopening Resources (Coronavirus/Covid-19)

All licensees must comply with Executive Orders, local health department orders, and local ordinances regarding reduced occupancy rates and social distancing protocols related to the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.

The Commission and a number of industry partners have prepared resources to aid licensees as they prepare to reopen to the public.  The MLCC has prepared a list of frequently asked questions (FAQ) for on-premises licensees regarding reopening to customers.  This FAQ document will be updated with new information as it becomes available.  Posted below are reopening resources from a number of industry partners and links to several Commission forms that licensees may find useful for preparing to reopen their businesses to the public.
