Operative words
On March 17, 2020, the Department of Health Services issued Emergency Order #5 which ordered the closures of all bars and restaurants to prevent the further spread of the COVID-19 virus. Under the order, restaurants may remain open for delivery service. As such, restaurants that do not normally offer delivery may begin delivery service. Employees who typically do not deliver food may be called on to temporarily provide food delivery services using their own insured personal vehicles. OCI has worked with the insurance industry to remove any insurance barriers that may prevent a restaurant from beginning delivery service with their employees.
