The V.I. Department of Health said that it has suspended enforcement of non-compliance for using single-service tableware — disposable serving utensils such as plates, forks, spoons, and knives — until June 22. This postponement will allow retail service establishments such as restaurants and other outfits enough time to purchase the disposable items, D.O.H. said. "Masks or facial coverings should be worn by all patrons and should be worn at all times except when eating or drinking. Patrons should wear facial coverings when they leave their seats or when they are waiting for food or drinks," the department said."
