Catalina was included in Visit California's online roundup of "Californian's Continuing to Do Good." Listed under the, "Keeping Californians Working" section, the piece mentions, "Catalina Island is helping restaurants grappling with COVID-19 restrictions to expand outdoor dining and stay open. The City of Avalon teamed up with Love Catalina Island, the official tourism authority for Catalina, to create guidelines that have made it possible for many restaurants to stay in business and support staff. New protocols for outdoor dining allow restaurants to set up tables directly on the beach from 5-11 p.m. and allow booths for fast pick-up to operate between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. Hotels are treating guests to patio and rooftop meals with spectacular views and appropriate socially distancing."
