Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s office announced that all restaurants and bars statewide will be subject to new requirements.

They are now only allowed to serve alcohol to people who are ordering and eating food and that all service at bar tops must only be for seated patrons who are socially distanced by six feet or separated by physical barriers. Under current law, only establishments that serve food are permitted to serve alcoholic beverages.

Citizens who see violations or are concerned can report complaints, including photos, to the State Liquor Authority at www.sla.ny.gov.

The announcement comes the same day that St. Lawrence County Public Health officials announced that patrons at Half Ton’s in Potsdam may have been exposed to Covid-19 on three recent dates: July 8 from 4 to 7 p.m., July 10 from 4 to 8 p.m. and July 11 from 3:30 to 10 p.m.

Anyone who believes they were present at this location during these dates and times should call the St Lawrence County Public Health Department at 315-386-2325.

Monitor your temperature twice a day for 14 days. If you develop symptoms -- a fever greater than 100.4, cough or shortness of breath -- call your healthcare provider for further guidance. Tell them that you may have been exposed to COVID-19.

Testing is available through local hospital systems:

• St. Lawrence Health System 315-261-6240

• Claxton Hepburn Medical Center 315-713-6655
