Police in Jacksonville, Florida shut down a Cinco de Mayo tailgate party after hundreds of people flooded the parking lot of the One Night Taco Stand. According to the restaurant's Facebook post, they were hosting a "Take-out Tailgate" party for Cinco de Mayo.
The parking lot was packed with people practically on top of each other as well as cars and tents. There were also crowds of people inside who appeared to be placing food orders. Shortly before sundown, officers arrived on the scene and spoke to the restaurant owner about social distancing guidelines to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
Restaurants were allowed to resume dine-in service starting Monday, but indoor seating at restaurants must be at 25% capacity. Restaurants may offer outdoor seating with 6 feet of space between tables. It was clear nobody at this tailgate party was listening nor cared about any social distancing guidelines. After about 30 minutes, the police shut the whole thing down.
