Governor Walz updated guidance to restaurants today. The seating limit per table has been increased to 10 per table for restaurants, seating limit remains at 4 per table for bars and the family/household requirement has been lifted.
Thank you to all of our businesses and customers who are following guidelines and helping to keep case counts under control. This is the best thing you can do to support local businesses and assist our efforts at the Chamber to advocate for further openings.
