The province has thrown a bit of a lifeline to restaurants struggling to keep business flowing during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Restaurants will be allowed to sell wine, beer, and single-serve beverages along with food take-out and delivery service.
Crown Services Minister Jeff Wharton announced the measure yesterday, saying licensed businesses have expressed a strong interest in continuing liquor sales.
This is after the provincial government ordered the closure of all dine-in eating at restaurants and commercial facilities serving food, from April 1st to at least April 14th.
Pricing for liquor take-out and delivery will be the same as the regular dine-in pricing for that business.
During this time, liquor stores are designated as a critical-service and will remain open, with slightly adjusted hours.
