Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich has proposed shutting down indoor dining at restaurants starting next Tuesday. Outdoor dining and takeout would still be.
Indoor dining may be suspended next week, if Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich’s order is approved.
Elrich proposed the suspension during a virtual press conference with leaders from Maryland’s eight largest jurisdictions. He said he sent his order to the county council Wednesday and if it is approved by councilmembers, indoor dining would be suspended beginning Tuesday at 5 p.m. Outdoor dining, delivery, drive-thru and takeout would still be allowed, Elrich said. Licensed healthcare facilities would be allowed to continue indoor dining, according to the proposed executive order, and outdoor dining would be allowed between 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
