The city of Chicago plans to reduce indoor dining restrictions for a second consecutive week, allowing bars and restaurants to offer service at either 40% capacity or 50 people, whichever is less, The Chicago Tribune reported.
Most recently, the city had allowed those businesses to serve customers at either 25% capacity or 50 people.
At 40% occupancy, Chicago restaurants are able to serve the most customers indoors since the city also briefly allowed 40% capacity in October. Since the start of the pandemic, indoor dining in the city has never pushed past 40%.
Other restrictions remain, however, including having a maximum of six people per table, alcohol service ending at 11 p.m., establishments closing for on-site service by midnight and food being available at all times to offer indoor service. |
