State Orders Burgettstown Restaurant To Close

A Burgettstown restaurant is among two dozen ordered to close for not following the state’s COVID-19 orders. The State Department of Agriculture made the announcement Wednesday. Rough Cut Tavern and Hotel was one of twenty-four to receive closure notices for denying the Governor’s orders. The inspections took place from January 4 through the 10th. Enforcement currently targets the 50-percent indoor capacity limit and the mandated use of masks by employees. The department says they conducted 729 inspections over a one-week period. 171 of those visits were prompted by complaints and about 130 more were deemed follow-ups for COVID-specific complaints.  It was the only Washington County restaurant listed.
