Renewed dining restrictions a ‘gut punch’ for some Portland restaurants

For Portland-area restaurants, the last few months have felt like the light at the end of a very long tunnel. In February, plummeting COVID-19 cases prompted Gov. Kate Brown to reopen dining rooms for the first time in three months. By March, Portland restaurants were allowed to expand indoor capacity further. And April has brought a sunny glimpse of the summer ahead patio season is almost here.
Some of those gains will be reversed on Friday, when two of Oregon’s three largest counties Multnomah and Clackamas will return to the high-risk category, once again limiting restaurants to 25% capacity indoors, Gov. Kate Brown announced Tuesday. In all, six counties representing three fifths of Oregon’s population enter the higher risk category Friday (Deschutes, Klamath, Linn and Tillamook are the others).
