With COVID cases surging in town and Governor Charlie Baker announcing new restrictions, many local gyms, businesses, and restaurants are feeling the economic pinch.
“It’s going to be a tough winter,” said Marblehead Chamber of Commerce Director Beth Ferris. “Of course, everyone understands that we’re in a pandemic. I get that. But it’s so hard on our restaurants and smaller stores.”
Under Baker’s latest order, stores, gyms, and restaurants cannot exceed 25% capacity.
That means The Landing, which usually seats 200 diners at a time, can now only have 50.
