The local health department has asked the city to get rid of the mask mandate so that's moving its way through and everybody is going to rubber stamp that. My company's COVID czar (my mother, a former nurse who has lots of directly relevant education and experience when it comes to interpreting the data coming out of the health department) agrees that it's fine to move back to mask-optional. We're still limiting seating to 18 (the space is allowed 49, but that's still crazy).
