These businesses include, restaurants, recreational and amusement, gyms, barber shops, salons and other personal care businesses.
Currently the state rule calls for 35% to this is a nice jump up, which will just in time for Easter!
Another change is that the limit on private gatherings will be increasing from 25 people indoors and 50 outdoors.

So be sure to keep wearing your masks!
If we keep seeing this sharp drop in covid-19 cases and death, we could see a 100% capacity by Memorial Day Weekend!
