BEND, Ore. — The Oregon Liquor Control Commission approved emergency rules that will allow bars and restaurants to make curbside deliveries of alcoholic beverages.
In addition to curbside delivery, the commission also approved an emergency rule that will allow same-day delivery of alcoholic beverages until 2:30 a.m. The commission put the rules in place at a monthly meeting on Thursday, according to a press release.
The emergency measures were permitted by the OLCC commissioners as a way to ease economic hardship faced by the hospitality industry, which is struggling amid rules put in place by Gov. Kate Brown to stop the spread of the highly contagious coronavirus that causes the disease known as COVID-19.
“We are giving these tools to businesses to help them survive in these challenging times,” said Matt Van Sickle, public information officer for the Oregon Liquor Control Commission.
