Lake County, Illinois moves to 'tier 1', in other words we can eat inside restaurants again!
You may already have been dining inside restaurants this last week or two in Lake County, even though yesterday was the official start of indoor dining once again in our area. Many Lake countians have been going to Wisconsin, just across the state line, or to McHenry county just west of us, in order to eat inside restaurants. I have seen restaurants open with indoor dinning for weeks all around this area, despite it supposedly not being allowed due to the pandemic. But in any case it is finally, officially, okay to dine inside a building. According the Lake and McHenry County Scanner:
Under Tier 1, bars and restaurants can have indoor service limited to the lesser of 25% capacity or 25 persons per room. Tables exceeding four people are not allowed indoors and indoor service is not allowed if the facility does not serve food.
Meetings and gatherings, excluding in-person school or sports, are limited to the lesser of 25 guests or 25% capacity indoors and outdoors under Tier 1 guidelines. The move to Tier 1 also allows more sports play in schools. (State moves Lake and McHenry counties into Tier 1, reopening indoor dining today)
Does this announcement really matter since so many restaurants have had indoor dining anyways, in violation of the pandemic guidelines?
Question: Do you think people in Lake County are following the state guidelines on indoor dinning and social distancing?
