Authorities say a woman found unresponsive outside of her home over the weekend died as a result of injuries sustained when she was attacked by her dog.

Fox Lake police were called to a home of a woman found unresponsive outside her home on May 9.

Upon arrival, police found 52-year-old Lisa Urso, of Ingleside, on the patio of her home.

Tuesday, officials revealed that a preliminary autopsy indicated she died as a result of injuries from a dog attack, according to the Lake County Coroner's Office.

Police believe it was her French Bulldog that attacked her inside the residence. Urso was able to exit the home, but ultimately succumbed to her injuries on the patio. Toxicology results are pending.

"The investigation into her death continues by our office and the Fox Lake Police Department, stated Dr. Howard Cooper, Lake County Coroner.

We have been in close contact with Ms. Ursos family and our deepest condolences go out to them during this difficult time. This is truly a tragedy, he added.

There could be a lot more al fresco dining in the City of North Vancouver this summer, as council moves to make it easier for restaurants to open up or expand patio spaces.

Mayor Linda Buchanan won councils support for a motion Monday night asking staff to start working on some rule changes that will help businesses survive the slow reopening process under the provinces COVID-19 guidelines.

The B.C. Restaurant and Food Services Association is aiming to have its members opening by June 1, but restaurant capacity will likely be scaled back to help maintain physical distancing.

Adding more patio space was one of the top requests from city restaurant, pub and brewery owners who have met with Buchanan as part of the business advisory task force she convened to see how the city can best help them through the crisis.

They are really looking at the ability to have our staff develop simple, flexible and adaptable plans to be able to temporarily expand their patios as well as make sure that plan also allows for safe pedestrian movement of people past those businesses, she said.

In addition, Buchanan said she would like the plans to address possibly allowing consumption of alcohol in certain public spaces, so residents will have informal, safe outdoor places to socialize with their family and friends.

Coun. Holly Back, who also sits on the task force, said she was struck by how committed the business owners have been to ensuring their reopening doesnt put public health at risk.

These people have lost a lot of money over the last couple of months and so I was really pleasantly surprised at their attitudes about how they're going to get back into business. I truly feel, as a city, we need to help them as much as we possibly can.

Carving out some extra city space for people dining out will not only help the businesses get by, Coun. Tony Valente reasoned, but also help animate the streetscape.

Councils support for the motion was unanimous.

Lets all now pray for a beautiful summer, Buchanan added.

Roommates Claire Lynch and Lara Nicholson said, they jumped at the news of restaurants opening their patio and outdoor areas.

She was in a zoom class and I saw the post on Zippys and I just text her like, when youre out of class can we please go to Zippys and she was like of course said Lynch.

Friday is the first day of the governors relaxed orders, giving restaurants a little more leverage to serve their customers.

When the Governor announced it, within ten minutes we got phone calls. Will yall be open Friday, yes, we will. Lets get a little clarification on the rules and well be ready to go on Friday morning said Neal Hendrick, Owner of Zippys

Under the new order, outdoor seating must be cut to 25-percent of seats, tables have to be at least 10 feet apart with a max of ten people at each table.

Our patio with 10 feet apart and then we also have or parking lot with tables in it, 10 feet apart as well.

Hendrick said, hes excited to see his full staff at work and customers enjoying their food.

We have a great response from our customers, the public came out, everybody is doing really good respecting the social distancing. A lot of smile, a lot of happy people today.

Since we have been here today, it has been crowded. We have seen people already starting to sit outside in the parking lot where they kind of created overflow. Its pretty well spaced out said Nicholson.

While theres some relief for restaurants. People said, this is only part of phase one and theres still a long way to go.

I think as long as people are careful and not necessarily saying oh this means everything is back to normal. This shouldnt be a green light, its like a yellow light.

Dining rooms and patios opening May 1 for sit-down service in Bellaire, Meyerland, West University Place - Community Impact Newspaper

AUSTIN (KXAN) Friday marked another step by Governor Greg Abbott to reopen Texas. After being shut down for more than a month, retailers, restaurants, libraries, golf courses and movie theaters have been given the green light to allow customers back in the door.

The day to reopen comes a day after the state reported the highest death toll in one single day with more than 50 deaths.

If restaurant owners chose to reopen their dining rooms Friday, they had to follow the states safety guidelines. Things like masks requirements for staff and patrons, disposable cutlery, to-go cups, single-use menus and single-use condiments are just some of the changes being made at restaurants.

KXAN checked in with ZTejas and Poke Austin. Management there said theyll practice social distancing and keep patrons separated. They also plan to check employees temperatures at the door.

At ZTejas, temperature checks will also apply to customers, and they plan to implement a rotating table system. That means they will not seat a party at the same table where others just dined.

Another big aspect for many restaurants is patios. Several restaurant owners are advertising their outdoor space. ZTejas has four patio areas at its 6th Street location, and Poke Austins patio wraps around the building. Some restaurant owners have announced they will only use the patio areas.

Thats where your space is, Trent Schneiter, the owner of Poke Austin said. Thats where I think people will feel the safest, so lets take advantage of that, and even better its the good weather its not a 100 degrees outside, its a cool 90 degrees.

ZTejas Chief Operating Officer Robby Nethercut agreed and said, I think (patrons) do feel more comfortable just being outdoors and feeling free and I think for sure, my personal preference would be to want to be able to sit outdoors. I think there is a little bit of safety there and it makes people feel more comfortable.

Actually I was coming in to get a taco to go. I always come here, said Gloria Chapa. Today I didnt know I could eat here. Im glad came here.

Chapa said shes been coming to Juan in a Million twice a week for decades. I was like 15-years-old, and now Im 60. My nephews, my nieces, my mom, everybody came here. Its a family tradition.

She said during the Stay Home Order, she would see Juan in a Million completely empty.

Empty and sad and depressing. Its sad what happened. Its real sad. But everythings going to get better, she told KXAN.

Owner Juan Meza said he moved the tables so theyre all more than six feet apart. He said hes glad he can re-open the dining room.

We had to lay off a lot of our employees. Not were starting to bring them back, Meza said. Hopefully when things start picking back up again, hopefully well have our whole staff back.

On the other hand, however, some restaurant owners chose to keep their dining rooms closed.

Bangers Sausage House and Beer Garden Owner Ben Siegel said, Youve a very real threat to human life on the one hand. And then you have very real threat to livelihoods on the other hand.

Bangers has been selling groceries and having people pick up their orders curbside.

If you look at the what the president and at the federal level, what their guidelines were for states reopening, which seemed rational logical, I dont think weve actually met any of those guidelines, Siegel said. The only difference between right now and a month and a half ago when we shut down is theres more people with COVID-19 right now. Thats really the only difference.

Siegel said he had to think about, What is the cost of not only starting back up but then shutting it down but then starting it back up again?

He also explained, reopening the dining room isnt as simple as turning on a light switch. You have to think about staffing and inventory.

The Brewtorium owners also said, you need more than four days to go from a to-go only model to having dining rooms open at 25 percent capacity.

We just felt like it wasnt time yet with the number of COVID cases continuing to increase in Travis County, said Co-Owner Whitney Roberts. We just felt like it wasnt thesafe time to do it.

Chris Rauschuber said, Even if we felt that the overall climate was suitable, the measures we had to put in place, we need more time.

Roberts added, Adding all the additional safety measures, moving our tables around, trying to police that, trying police the number of people coming in, it just doesnt make a lot of sense at this point. And frankly I dont think people would coming in at this point.

Like Siegel, Rauschuber also questioned the costs of reopening now and the potential of having to shut down again if there were to be a second surge in cases.

Itd be very disruptive to our staff if we were to bring them off of furlough, off of unemployment and then have to put them back on furlough, were not really sure how that would work, he said.

The restaurant owners said they will reopen in the future, but for now, theyd rather play it safe.
