Restaurants reopening on June 5 will no longer have buffets, salad bars and self-serve soda fountains under new rules rolled out by the county Tuesday.

Dining in restaurants is among the activities that will be resuming in the coming weeks in response to encouraging low cases of COVID-19 and more than a week without a new case in Maui County. Officials announced guidelines for hair salons and religious services Monday and unveiled more rules for restaurants Tuesday.

“This is part of your kuleana — we need your help,” Mayor Michael Victorino said during a news conference Tuesday afternoon. “You’ve done well with the beaches. Let’s continue doing it with these next phases of opening businesses.”

Under the new rules, customers must wear masks when walking in but can take them off while seated. They must put them back on when leaving or moving about the restaurant for reasons such as using the restroom.

Tables will need to be arranged to allow six feet of distance between them.

If the restaurant accepts reservations, people must wait in their vehicles until they are called to come in. There will be no congregating at waiting areas.

Other requirements for dine-in restaurants include:

• Silverware, flatware, glasses, condiments and other table-top items must not be left on an unoccupied table.

• Tables and chairs must be fully sanitized after each group.

• Disposable foodware and utensils should be used when available.

• Disposable menus or a menu board should be provided, or reusable menus should be sanitized after each use.

• Touch-points such as door knobs and restrooms should be cleaned hourly.

• Valet services are prohibited except for disabled parking.

The county also encouraged restaurants to have customers enter and exit through different points; to start or continue entryway, curbside or home delivery service; to make reservations and preorder for dine-in service and to implement cashless and receiptless transactions.

Managing Director Sandy Baz said that nightclubs and bars, even those located in restaurants, remain closed.

Drive-in religious services, meanwhile, will be allowed to resume Friday. While the county had initially said Monday that attendees would have to sit in their vehicles with the windows closed, Baz explained that if vehicles are spaced out more than six feet, then windows can be rolled down to allow church members to hear the service.

The county has been using guidance from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health to help evaluate its decisions on which businesses can reopen. When asked why salons and restaurants were being allowed to reopen but not gyms, which like restaurants are considered medium risk, Victorino said he “disagreed with that statement.”

The mayor said he is working with health care providers in the systematic reopening of the economy. He noted that other states have put gyms and other public gathering areas in the higher risk category.

But he added that “if everything works well,” gyms and CrossFit-type facilities could reopen in the middle of June. He added that the facilities must adhere to strict sanitization and other guidelines.

The state has said that indoor exercise facilities, including gyms and fitness centers, are allowed to reopen next month along with museums, theaters, hair salons and restaurants. But Gov. David Ige said that counties are allowed flexibility within the framework he has provided.

Also during the news conference, Maui Medical Group Administrator Cliff Alakai reported that outpatient clinics such as his have continued to rigorously test for the virus.

Maui Medical Group, Minit Medical and Community Clinic of Maui have collectively conducted 2,270 tests, with a total of 29 positive cases.

Maui Medical has tested the most out of the three at 1,505 with 21 positive tests, or a 1.51 percent rate. Minit Medical administered 545 tests, with six positive, and Community Clinic of Maui has administered 220 tests with two positive results.

Collectively, the three clinics are awaiting results from 152 tests.
