FREDERICKSBURG, VA — Officials from the Rappahannock Area Health District inspected several restaurants across the region from Sept. 8 to Sept. 14; they cited more than two dozen restaurants with violations.
As coronavirus restrictions continue to fluctuate around the state, health inspectors are returning to conduct restaurant inspections in person. However, some visits, such as those for training purposes, can be conducted virtually.
Violations at restaurants typically focus on factors that can contribute to food contamination. The local health department can also perform a re-inspection to ensure that possible violations have been corrected.

Depending on the results of the inspection, the health department can pursue several actions. They can issue a permit for the restaurant to continue serving food, they can schedule a follow-up inspection to determine if violations have been rectified, or they can temporarily shut down an establishment until certain issues are solved.
