So far, we have not seen a flood of notices of restaurants opening on the 15th, with the increase of occupancy from 30 to 60 percent.
One reason is the eight-foot social distancing restriction on tables remains in place. Even with the 60 percent standard, actual capacity may be much lower.

However, if the current spike in cases continues in certain parts of the country, some diners may continue to stay away.
