The city is lifting some more coronavirus restrictions imposed on businesses on Nov. 20 due to a spike in new cases. Starting this Saturday, Jan. 16, limited indoor dining at restaurants is allowed to resume. Restaurants can reopen at 25 percent capacity and are allowed to seat only up to four people from the same household at one table. Indoor catering events and entertainment are still not allowed.

“Everyone must wear a mask at all times, especially when they are sitting and eating,” Philadelphia Public Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley said on Tuesday when announcing loosening of indoor dining restrictions. Here’s what this means:

City theaters can also reopen starting this Saturday, with very limited attendance and no food or drinks allowed to be served.

Philadelphia libraries are also allowed to reopen their buildings for patron service. The Free Library of Philadelphia has announced that it would begin reopening some branches for in-building service on Tuesday, Jan. 19. The Library’s programs and events will continue to be held virtually until indoor gathering restrictions are lifted in the city. Currently, several Free Library locations are offering contactless material pickups and returns. Go here for more information.
