Cleveland city officials issued warnings against four restaurants and bars over the weekend for not complying with the state鈥檚 coronavirus safety guidelines.

The City of Cleveland said it responded to 28 calls regarding 鈥渕ass gatherings鈥� at both businesses and private residences. Police officers stopped by the businesses with the most complaints: Mulberry鈥檚 in the West Bank of the Flats, Harry Buffalo on East 4 ^th Street, Lago East Bank and TownHall in Ohio City. 

Warning letters were issued and the city closed Mulberry鈥檚 sand volleyball pit.

Public health officials also visited the bars to talk to the owners and staff about how to better comply with social distancing and other coronavirus-related guidelines, including wearing masks.

The city is taking the safety guidelines set out by the state very seriously, Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson said in a late Monday statement.

鈥淲e will continue to monitor this situation,鈥� Jackson said, 鈥渁nd will be developing a policy to address the actions of habitual offenders.鈥�

Pictures also surfaced on social media of packed bars around Ohio 鈥� including in the Flats in Cleveland 鈥� with people drinking, not wearing masks and not staying at least six feet apart.

Gov. Mike DeWine at his Monday press conference issued a warning to bars, restaurants and any other reopened establishment not adhering to the safety guidelines

鈥淲hat we saw in some bars this weekend, pictures that made national news,鈥� DeWine said. 鈥淲e saw in some places customers were not following the rules and people running the bar were not taking responsibility. Both have to do that.鈥�

The governor has empowered law enforcement and health officials to join the state Health Department鈥檚 Investigative Unit to conduct compliance checks at crowded bars and restaurants.  Those who don鈥檛 enforce social distancing could lose their liquor license, DeWine warned.
