Gov. Pete Ricketts eliminated almost all COVID-19 restrictions on Dec. 24 as statewide COVID-19 hospitalizations fell below 15% of staffed hospital beds.
Numerous local business owners said the changes would not make a big difference, though some said it is possible the loosening of restrictions could bring more people into their establishments.
COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations locally and statewide have fallen, but are still above safe levels, according to the East-Central District Health Departmentâs Dec. 18 situation update. It is not clear if that had changed by the end of December.
