During the epidemic, dine-in is not allowed but businesses are still open. How to punish them?

During the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic, catering service units have suspended dine-in meals. If citizens find a restaurant offering dine-in service, they can call 12315 to report it. During the epidemic prevention and control period, most stores are closed to customers and now only provide takeout services. You can report it to the police.

1. Residents can also call the local epidemic prevention and control office to report. The phone number of the local epidemic prevention and control office can be found on the local Bao official account. If businesses have other violations, residents can also directly call the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau.

2. If you need to eat out during the epidemic, you should strictly abide by the regulations prohibiting dine-in, or choose to take it home with you. During the epidemic period, attention should be paid to disinfection, and the outer packaging of food needs to be disinfected.

3. When an infectious disease breaks out or becomes popular, the local people's government at or above the county level shall immediately organize forces to carry out prevention and control according to the prevention and control plan, cut off the transmission route of the infectious disease, and report to the next higher level if necessary. The people's government decides. On the basis of extensive publicity, the branch's law enforcement officers adopted the method of "daily supervision + key period supervision" to conduct day and night inspections of more than 300 catering units within their jurisdiction, focusing on checking whether the catering units provide dine-in meals. During the peak dining period, surprise inspections of key catering units were carried out to ensure that the "no dine-in" prevention and control measures were implemented in catering units during the epidemic prevention and control period.

During the inspection of catering units, the branch law enforcement officers found that a restaurant in the jurisdiction violated relevant regulations on epidemic prevention and control for dine-in. Law enforcement officials immediately asked the restaurant to evacuate diners and ordered it to close for rectification.
