DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS
THE SMALL RESTAURANTS
ON THE CAPE ARE PACKED WITH
PEOPLE.
THAT IS NOT LIKELY TO
HAPPEN THIS SUMERN.
HERE IS BILL SHIELDS.
SUMMER ON CAPE COD.
IT'S A SHORT, YET SWEET COUPLE
OF MONTHS.
FOR RESTAURANT WORKERS AND
OWNERS THIS COMING SUMMER
IS ONE OF UNCERTAINTY.
THE VIRUS HAS CREATED BIGGER
HURDLES THAN BAD
WEATHER.
WE HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT
PLANS, KIND OF IN THE
WORKS.
WE DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT IT'S
GOING TO LOOK LIKE
AND WHAT THE RULES WILL BE AND
WHAT WE WILL BE
ALLOWED TO DO.
HIS FAMILY OWN SEVERAL
RESTAURANTS.
HE WORRIES THAT SOCIAL
DISTANCING WILL MAKE THEIR
BUSINESS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.
WE DON'T ANTICIPATE MAKING
MONEY THIS YEAR.
THE GOAL HERE IS TO, YOU KNOW,
KEEP OUR STAFF GOING
AND TO NOT HAVE PLACES GO
UNDER.
TO SUPPORT OUR NEIGHBORS.
THIS ISN'T A SUMMER WHERE
WE WILL FIGURE THINGS
OUT THIS IS A SUMMER TO JUST
TRY TO SURVIVE.
Reporter: MACK OWNS A NUMBER
OF RESTAURANTS AND
FISH MARKETS THROUGHOUT THE
CAPE.
HE TOO IS FILLED WITH ANXIETY
FOR HIS EMPLOYEES AND
THOSE IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN.
IT'S THE UNCERTAINTY AT
EVERY LEVEL THAT
CONCERNS ME.
YOU KNOW, FROM SUPPLY CHAIN TO
THE NUMBER OF
CUSTOMERS WE HAVE.
Reporter: THERE'S STILL SO
MUCH WE DON'T KNOW.
ON THE MEDICAL SIDE AND ON THE
ECONOMIC IMPACT SIDE.
THE ONLY THING FOR CERTAIN,
IT'S GOING TO BE A TOUGH
