CONWAY — A majority of local restaurateurs interviewed Monday reacted favorably to Gov. Chris Sununu’s recent order to maintain a registry of contact information of guests for 21 days to help in future contact tracing for COVID-19 if needed.

The move comes at a time when the state is seeing an uptick in cases of COVID-19. Under the new directive, a customer at a table is required to provide a name and phone number to help with contacting them if a case of the virus is diagnosed among employees or fellow patrons. They are also required to provide date and time of arrival.
