There’s good news on the menu for Regina restaurants.
The Saskatchewan government announced Friday that, starting May 17, all restaurants and licensed establishments in Regina will be able to reopen for in-person dining.
There will still be restrictions, including a maximum of four people per table, maintaining at least two metres between tables, no alcohol sales after 10 p.m., and keeping a log of customer information.
That’s the only change to the province’s public health orders, which have been extended to May 31. They were set to expire Monday.
On March 23, the province put in place strict public health orders for the Regina region due to the continued transmission of COVID-19. One of the measures in those orders required restaurants to close, but delivery and curbside pickup were permitted.
