Montana’s Lewis and Clark County will lift all COVID-19 related restrictions, except its mask mandate, on Friday. The health board’s decision comes as more communities consider peeling back or amending some health orders as COVID-19 cases have fallen.
The Lewis and Clark City-County Board of Health will pull back restrictions on the number of attendees at events, hours of operation for businesses, and capacity limits at bars, restaurants, distilleries, breweries, casinos, gyms and fitness centers.
People over the age of 5 are still required to wear face masks in any indoor space open to the public and some outdoor public spaces where physical distancing cannot be maintained. The mask order is in effect until the end of the emergency declaration or is repealed by the health board.
