This would allow increased social distancing, a constant flow of fresh air, and would allow restaurants to bring in much-needed customers and revenue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the fact that the economy is recovering and many industries have somewhat adjusted to the restrictions, the food industry is still suffering. Many restaurants, both nationwide and in San Diego, have been forced to shut their doors permanently due to the financial turmoil brought about by COVID-19-induced lockdowns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mayor Faulconer&#8217;s executive order will bring some much-needed relief to restaurant owners and their employees. We need to learn how to coexist with this virus rather than just hiding inside until it goes away, and Faulconer\u2019s order is definitely a step in the right direction.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Michael Palomba Last week, San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer issued an executive order eliminating some red tape for restaurants affected by Gov.
