Hey Pandas, Can You Share Your State's Or City's "Odd" Or "Strange" Covid Safety Rules? (Closed)

No more than 2 people allowed in a vehicle, even if they are family.
Because when for example two parents have to go somewhere with their two children (so 4 people) covid is highly infectious in the car, while when you live in the same house 24/7 it's not.

LA has just re-opened outdoor dining and bars, but they cannot turn on the TV.

You can't leave the municipality you are registered in but you can go on a holiday to Mexico. Go figure. It's in Lithuania, by the way.

Yeah...we have this weird thing where nothing is being enforced. (Louisiana)

Our city has had masks mandatory since may, but, only on February 1 (midnight) were the masks mandated on public transportation... I was up at 5 am watching the news and I heard this I was like... what. They weren’t already mandatory?? Just... odd.

You are not allowed to be outside after 6pm, there is a very strict curfew. The police checks the highways from 5:30 pm to see if people are going home. As a result, there are traffic jams, people are always in their cars after 6pm, and they receive fines.

High-level sports training is still somewhat permissible.

In PA, you can go out to a bar, but that bar must serve food and you have to sit at a table. Table OK... hey! Social distancing. But no alcohol by itself! You can't sit and drink. You MUST order food be it chicken tenders to a full blown meal but food must be ordered. Because we all know that covid is scared to death of chicken! Oh, and PER check! So if you have 4 people at a table and want separate checks, then 4 meals have to be bought. Because splitting a check makes covid mad, it's easier to have 1 check and 1 meal and figure it all out especially after a few drinks which not only confuses the drinkers but covid as well. And after eating, you have to leave. No more drinks. So you leave basket of cold dead chicken fingers in front of you while you get hammered! And covid is worse after 11 PM so you have to go home and hide. /snark

Pee-wee, indoor sports like hockey are still permissible.

SFUSD would rather change “ racist” school names that would cost millions, instead of helping the children in poverty go to public school and receive hot lunches and safety.

Masks are required for everything, and hand sanitizer. Yet my city has only now started requiring putting sanitizer in public spots for people to grab some. Yuck! Although this bothers me, I stay at my house a lot and don't go outside often so I'm for the most part just tired of my city being slow.

Stores and gyms are closed 1-2 hours earlier than normal. I forgot that Covid only comes out at night.

We are not allowed to move between our country's municipalities, you just stay where you live, unless you have a very valid reason to travel (e.g funeral, work.), you cannot leave the municipality you are registered in. We have police stations waiting outside the cities, so if you get caught without a valid reason you will be fined.

Edit: We are an extra small country with less than 3 million people, there are barely any people living outside the major cities, so I don't really see a point in forbidding people to travel if it's for grocery shopping, etc, especially for elderly people who don't even have shops in small areas they live in, I understand if its for holidays like Christmas etc. Anyways, besides the fact that you cant travel within the country, you can travel outside the country so it doesn't make any sense

We are allowed to visit our parents at home and sit inside with the 4 of us all day. But if we want to go outside for a walk, even staying 2 meters (6 feet) apart, we are being fined for getting together (only 3 people allowed to be together in the public space).

It’s legal for a contractor or estate agent to be inside your home, but not a family member.

It’s legal that your boss can force you to work in a crowded office, but not legal to meet your parents outdoors in a park even if you stay 6ft away from each other.

We're allowed to go eat inside a restaurant, go shopping, and kids go to school, but all sport/dance teams are cancelled and we can't have anyone but immediate family in our homes. (Alberta, Canada)

im in in-person school but your not allowed to run at recess or in PE

Before indoor dining was reopened in NJ the diners would set up those large tents for people to eat in. Kinda defeats the purpose of the law. Why wasn’t this illegal???

In Nevada, when we reopened with limited capacity, the Governor said sushi bars weren't allowed to play music of any kind but restaurants were (just ambient music). No explanation. So...what if the sushi bar was in a restaurant? Was the restaurant still allowed to play music or did they have to follow the sushi bar rules? Or did the sushi bar have to be wrapped in plastic to keep the music out? What if you were at the sushi bar and heard the music from the restaurant? Would the music give you COVID? So many questions and so few answers.

We have a newly created police force to breakup parties, also all businesses must close at 7PM, restaurants have no tables but you can eat standing up at their bar counter, everything is closed on Sundays, elders can't go out but if they must they have to take someone with them, schools are closed but teachers still have to go twice a week to deliver school supplies, you can't read newspapers or books outside, you're not supposed to travel but hotels and vacation spots are still open, only one person per family can enter a store, public transport can only carry seated passengers, gyms and cinemas can only have 25% people at a time, the sale of alcoholic beverages is forbidden past 6PM, all you can eat buffets are gone, babies are barred everywhere, film developing stores now work like 4 hours per day, you now need a MD recipe to get let's say harmless medicine but homeopathy is still unregulated, you can't drink hot drinks outside, smoking is forbidden in most public places, you can only wash your car on specifics days, bread is now individually packed, you can't try on clothes anymore and stores only sell them on certain days, if you get COVID and you stay home your employer technically has no obligation to pay for those sick days and finally we still don't have a much needed UBI approved :I
