Awaiting full houses

Many weekends before the pandemic the seats inside Arts United Center would be filled by audience members eager to take in a theater show, dance production or other arts event.
But since March, the seats have been largely unused as the pandemic forced restrictions on seating capacity and gathering in large groups. To ensure distanced seating, some rows in Arts United Center are completely blocked off when it does host an event. In rows that are being used, some spots are blocked off with fabric bands that wrap vertically around the chair so the seats can t be folded down.
Pandemic restrictions on restaurants, bars and gyms could be eased on Wednesday if Allen County s COVID-19 positivity rate continues to trend downward .
The Allen County Department of Health plans to have 800 shots a week for those over age 80 when it opens a COVID-19 vaccination clinic Wednesday at Fort Wayne s Memorial Coliseum.
