• Select personal services: including wedding planning and shoe repair services.
• Film and television production activities: with limits to enable physical distancing.
• Photography Studios
• Restaurants, bars, plus food & drink establishments: permitted to open for dining in outdoor areas only.

Additionally, businesses must take appropriate measures to ensure safe social distancing is practiced. This includes:

• 2 meters between patrons of different households
• Using reservations
• Limiting the number of patrons allowed on the outdoor space at a time
• Ensuring there is enough space between tables for patrons/staff to move comfortably

We know that this announcement is frustrating for many of our food establishments that do not have patios. If you do not have a patio to open this week, it is more important than ever to keep pushing your takeout and pickup opportunities. If you have any questions, please contact administrator@chinatownbia.com.
