Parties at restaurants and bars remain limited to groups of 8 or less.

Individuals must still be seated unless ordering food, using the restroom, or playing games.

Masks are recommended, rather than required, for establishments such as childcare centers, salons, barber shops, massage therapists, and body art studios.

Elective surgeries can resume as long as a hospital keeps 10% of its capacity available to treat coronavirus patients.
