Pennsylvania ought to consider going back to the mid-2020 “green phase” guidance for restaurants to mitigate the harm that shutdowns have inflicted on them since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, according to the head of the Pennsylvania Restaurant & Lodging Association, speaking at a live-streamed House Commerce Committee hearing Wednesday.
Proposals for financial help are welcome, but restaurants need to be able to open productively again, association CEO John Longstreet said.
The green phase guidance allows for indoor dining in keeping with building occupancy limits, with bar seating, provided there are physical barriers or 6 feet of space.
