Morgan Hill officials and business owners expressed their frustration and confusion after agents with California’s Alcoholic Beverage Control on Friday night ordered several restaurants to close their outdoor dining service, which has been allowed in the county for weeks.

Government officials, including the mayor, city attorney and chief of police in Morgan Hill, said they were unaware of any orders barring outdoor dining, which has been allowed in Santa Clara County since June 5 with restrictions intended to enforce social distancing and prevent the spread of coronavirus. They also weren’t aware of any planned enforcement action from ABC agents in the city.
