Take-out alcohol sales from restaurants are still permitted with the purchase of food, the order notes in paragraph 12.

Paragraph 13 of the order says that Sullivan County, one of six counties in the state with its own health department, may issue additional orders that may greater restrict or permit the operation of businesses, organizations or venues, but bars municipalities from regulating places of worship.

In his press conference on Tuesday, he told reporters that he would release a new executive order addressing the businesses that would remain closed, but didn’t give any further details during the conference.
