D.C. officials say the District will shut down indoor dining due to COVID-19 concerns this week.
The pause will go into effect Wednesday, Dec. 23 at 10 p.m. and will last until Jan. 15 at 5 a.m.
Restaurant owners in the District say they are devastated at the possibility of more restrictions on indoor dining as D.C. already restricted indoor dining to 25% capacity earlier this week.
The ban comes at a difficult time for D.C. restaurants as many have spent time and money winterizing for outdoor dining. The Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration reminding businesses Thursday in a tweet that those spaces can’t be used in inclement weather or when the temperature falls below 32 degrees.
Exercise your right to freedom and just open for goodness sakes. Are we men or mice?
people actually eat indoors in D.C. I just assumed they ate trash out of the gutters and begged for scraps on the sidewalks because they are so poor.obviously the only people in D.C who still have enough money to eat at an indoor restaurant are politicians who haven`t been affected by covidid lockdowns and covid unemployment, so why not let the political elite have a good sit down meal without all the commoners and peons in the restaurant.
