Governor Asa Hutchinson announced an 11 p.m. curfew for Arkansas businesses that are licensed to sell and allow consumption of alcohol on their premises on Thursday.
The directive covers restaurants, bars, and private clubs with “on-premise” permits and goes into effect on Friday, November 20.
It will remain in effect through January 3, 2021.
“In an effort to reduce the spread of the virus as a result of prolonged social interaction in group settings, I am accepting the recommendation of the Winter COVID Task Force to require bars, restaurants, and clubs that sell alcohol for consumption in their establishment to close at 11 p.m.,” Governor Hutchinson said. “This is a balanced approach that is limited and targeted as we work to reduce new COVID cases in our state.”
According to a release from the governor’s office, the move was recommended by the Winter COVID-19 Task Force.
The Arkansas Health Department’s directive follows:
Directive for hours of operation to Alcoholic Beverage Control on-premise permitted locations
Issued November 19, 2020
Effective November 20, 2020
Until January 3, 2021
The Secretary of Health, in consultation with the Governor, has sole authority over all instances of quarantine, isolation, and restrictions on commerce and travel throughout Arkansas, as necessary and appropriate to control disease in the state of Arkansas as authorized by Ark. Code Ann. §20-7-101 et seq., and the Rules Pertaining to Reportable Disease (2019). Based on available scientific evidence, and in order to encourage the use of face coverings and social distancing, it is necessary and appropriate to take further action to ensure that COVID-19 remains controlled and that residents and visitors in Arkansas remain safe.
The Secretary of Health issues this Directive in conjunction with Executive Order 20-48.
Alcoholic Beverage Control on-premise permitted locations shall close at 11:00 p.m.Pursuant to Ark. Code Ann. § 20-7-101, any person violating a directive from the Secretary of Health during this public health emergency may be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of not less than one hundred dollars ($100) nor more than five hundred dollars ($500) or by imprisonment not exceeding one (1) month, or both.

LOL at anyone who thinks this will move the needle. You can close all the bars and places to eat and it still won't matter. You'd think that after all this time people would get it: It is winter, and coronaviruses are going to spread. And absent an effective vaccine there really isn't a damn thing we can do about it.

Social distancing starts breaking down after 11

Really wish I were governor. Would tell the Covid task force lick my balls. State is wide open. Grown adults are capable of making their own decisions

Does coronavirus only come out after 11 PM?

They just killed their ski season.
The problem is, cases will continue to rise. And so, having chosen to do this, they will be forced to escalate, imposing more and more restrictions. Until they’ve shut down the whole economy again.

Well we know that it spreads like wildfire during three day weekend holidays and during sporting events. But spares mass street protests and politicians eating in large groups at fancy restaurants. Strange virus we are dealing with.

Covid is old news.
I seriously think this country is infected with an unknown virus that affects intelligence.
The dumb keeps getting stronger and stronger. I mean, no shite. There’s something to this.

Good thing the virus is so respectful so as not to spread before 11 pm.

I feel terrible for all the small businesses that won’t survive, and the hard working people who will struggle to pay their bills.

The same people in the Facebook/Twitter replies, proudly wearing a mask with their "#StayHome" overlay on their profile picture; cheering on every additional measure in some misguided notion that we can just mandate the virus out of existence if we destroy our lives enough.
