Gov. Tom Wolf announced on Monday that, starting April 4, some restrictions on restaurants and other businesses will be lifted. Gathering limits will also be increased.
Indoor dining capacity will be raised to 75% for restaurants that are currently self-certified and restaurants that are undergoing the self-certification process. Restaurants that do not self-certify will be allowed to raise their capacity to 50%.
In April, restaurants will also be allowed to resume bar service, and the 11 p.m. curfew for removing alcoholic drinks from tables will also be lifted.
Wolf also announced that venues will be allowed to hold indoor events at 25% maximum occupancy and outdoor events at 50% maximum occupancy, as long as workers and attendees can comply with the 6-foot physical distancing requirement.
Businesses like gyms, entertainment facilities and moving personal services facilities will be allowed to operate at 75% maximum occupancy.
Mask-wearing and social distancing requirements are still in effect for all businesses.
