Phase Four Updates to Local Businesses and Attractions
With Phase Four reopening guidelines released by the state going into effect today, indoor activities and dining are going to look a bit different.
As of now, indoor recreation facilities should operate at less than 50 customers OR 50% of facility capacity. Outdoor recreation facilities should limit group sizes to 50 customers, with multiple groups permitted if proper social distancing and group management are enforced. Capacity restrictions and group sizes will be reassessed based on the latest science and public health metrics on an ongoing basis throughout Phase Four.
We continue to update our business hours page here with the latest. For a lot of us, there’s still a bit of uncertainty about what things are going to look like in the new normal. That’s why Champaign County Safe is asking businesses and attractions to take a pledge to practice vigilant safety and health standards. You can see the list of pledged businesses here.
For now, a few things are reopening this first weekend of Phase Four. We expect more to continue reviewing their reopening processes and we’ll continue to keep you updated on our updates page and social media. For now, here are a few things you can check out that you might have missed these past few months!
