Disease prevention:
• If you are 65 or older or have underlying health conditions please stay home.
• Practice social distancing of at least 6 feet.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• If you cough or sneeze, do it into your sleeve, or use a tissue. Dispose of the tissue immediately into a closed rubbish bin, and then clean your hands.
• Clean surfaces regularly with disinfectant. For example: always clean kitchen benches and work desks.
If you feel unwell:
• Avoid traveling if you have a fever and/or cough.
• Once you get home, make contact with a health professional and tell them about where you have been.
• If you feel unwell, stay at home and call your healthcare provider.
Managing rising anxiety or stigma:
We know that your communities may be feeling anxious, stressed or frightened. Here are some important things to take into account and share:
• It’s normal to feel sad, stressed, confused, scared or angry during a crisis. Talking to people you trust can help, like friends, family or your fellow community members.
• If you must stay at home, maintain a healthy lifestyle, including proper diet, sleep, exercise. Keep up with loved ones at home by email and phone and connect with your larger Facebook community for support.
• Don’t use smoking, alcohol or other drugs to deal with your emotions.
• If you feel overwhelmed, talk to a health worker or counselor. Have a plan on where to go to and how to seek help for physical and mental health needs if required.
• Get the facts. Gather information that will help you accurately determine your risk so that you can take reasonable precautions. Find a credible source you can trust such as the WHO website or a local or state public health agency.
• When posting in your communities, be sure to share the latest facts from credible sources, avoid hyperbole and show solidarity with affected people by opening your community up to the stories of people who have been affected by the virus. Of course, keep in mind to not share information about someone else’s health concerns (such as someone affected by COVID-19 without their permission).
Like most of you, the Beach Chamber is closely monitoring the situation with COVID-19. We are still encouraging members to do business with other members, however, your health and safety are our top priority.
Below, we have created a list of our local restaurants with updated availability, hours of operation, and services. Please note that the following information is subject to change at any time. Please contact the restaurant for their latest update. Don’t want to leave the house? Purchase a gift certificate to help support a local business during this difficult time!

Out of an abundance of caution and due to growing concerns about the COVID-19 virus in relation to large gatherings, Panama City Beach has decided to postpone UNwineD 2020, with hopes of rescheduling this fall. The decision was made following Governor Ron DeSantis’ statements to limit large-scale events in the state of Florida as well as the cancellation of sponsors due to corporate mandates.
While the event is not taking place next week, Panama City Beach remains one of the premier destinations for spring and summer vacations. Community leaders encourage guests to continue with their plans to visit and take the same precautions while on vacation that they would at home.
“This was not an easy decision to make but the health and safety of our community, attendees, partners and volunteers are of the utmost importance,” says President and CEO of Visit Panama City Beach Dan Rowe. “Even though the event was postponed, we still urge guests to experience our 27 miles of expansive shoreline, watersports and array of activities in the coming weeks.”

Shaka Sushi and Noodle Bar (Inlet Beach) and Southside Slice Pizzeria (Rosemary Beach®) are
now offering delivery from 4:00PM to close every night. The delivery area is small for now –
anywhere up to 3 miles around Shades Bar and Grill. There is a map on both websites showing
exactly where they will deliver. The plan is to eventually grow that radius as business allows.
With so few options of delivery in the area, the Last Call Restaurant Group saw this as an
opportunity to fill a much needed area of dining.
About Last Call Restaurant Group:

Sapp, and Ken Duenas, is comprised of four restaurants currently – Shades Bar and Grill,
Pescado Seafood Grill and Rooftop Bar, Southside Slice and Shaka Sushi and Noodle Bar. On
the horizon for 2020, is Fluke Oyster Bar in Inlet Beach. LCRG focuses on quality of food,
employee welfare, and customer appreciation. Through their new app “Last Call Restaurant
Group” (found in the App Store and Google Play Store) guests earn a 5% credit to their loyalty
account with every purchase at any location and then can use that credit at any location.
