COVID-19 BUSINESS UPDATE
The Pennsylvania Department of Health recently revised statewide COVID-19 mitigation efforts to ease restrictions and get Pennsylvanians to a new normal.
Bars can resume bar service; alcohol may be served without a food purchase and curfews lifted. Indoor capacity will boost to 75 percent for self-certified restaurants and 50 percent for restaurants that do not self-certify.
Personal service facilities, gyms and entertainment venues may operate at 75% capacity. Indoor events are maxed at 25 percent regardless of venue size and outdoor events may operate at 50% of maximum occupancy, regardless of venue size.
Mask-wearing, 6-foot social distancing must still be maintained and adherence to safety orders still required.
