The latest easing up on restrictions for bars and restaurants in Upstate New York will allow them to seat up to 75% of their normal capacity, an increase from the current limit of 50%. It could start as soon as March 19.
But will that really change anything? With so many other restrictions still in place, perhaps not.
“It doesn’t mean that much if you still have to have that six feet of separation,” said Bud Loura, a local dining industry consultant, referring to table spacing that is part of the current Covid-19 social distancing requirement. “You can only fit so many tables and so many people in that case. Many places can’t get close to 50% much less 75% as it is.”
