Gov. Walz loosened COVID-19 restrictions today, which will now allow restaurants and bars to open for indoor dining beginning on Monday.

Starting Monday, January 11, restaurants and bars can open at 50% capacity with no more than six people at a table. Bar seating is open to parties of two, and reservations are required. Establishments must close dine-in service by 10 PM.
