Iowa Capital Dispatch: Complaints from Iowans about bars and restaurants failing to impose COVID-19 mitigation measures have increased fivefold in recent weeks. The increase in complaints appears to coincide with the Iowa Alcoholic Beverage Division’s July 30 announcement that it would be stepping up efforts to enforce compliance with Gov. Kim Reynolds’ proclamations regarding social distancing and other mitigation efforts to be taken in Iowa bars, restaurants and other food establishments. Between March 17 and July 29, the Iowa Alcoholic Beverage Division fielded 147 complaints — an average of just over 1 complaint per day — about Iowa bars and restaurants violating laws and orders related to COVID-19 mitigation. Between July 30 and Sept. 8, the ABD fielded 229 such complaints, an average of 5.7 complaints per day.
