HARRISBURG (KDKA) - The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture released its data regarding COVID-19 restaurant enforcement actions between September 28 and October 4.

Of those coronavirus checks, only one formal warning letter was issued.

Locally, Cambria, Fayette, and Washington counties each had complaint-driven inspections.

The full breakdown of inspections, complaints, and ways to keep restaurants compliant with coronavirus mitigation regulations can be found on the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture's website.
