Restaurants in Maryland are now allowed to seat up to 75% of their patrons. The order to increase capacity, came from Governor Hogan on the heels of fall temperatures.
Restaurants must continue to follow social distancing and public health requirements consistent with CDC, FDA and National Restaurant Association guidelines.
Buffets are still not allowed, and neither is serving patrons who are not seated.
Also, state guidlines can be tailored for each jurisdiction.
Anne Arundel County, Baltimore City, Montgomery County and Prince George's County remain under tighter restrictions than the rest of Maryland.
