Capacity limit, curfew for Michigan restaurants will remain in place through March 29

Michigan’s Department of Health and Human Services earlier this month extended the 25% capacity limit and 10 p.m. curfew for restaurants in the state.

Restaurants in Michigan were allowed to reopen for indoor dining with restrictions on February 1 after months of being limited to take-out and delivery services only as part of Michigan's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The restrictions included a 25% capacity limit and a 10 p.m. curfew for indoor dining in Michigan restaurants.

Those restrictions were set to expire on February 21 but earlier this month, the MDHHS extended the restaurant restrictions.

The extension of the restaurant restrictions was included in an MDHHS order that went into effect on February 8 and runs through March 29.

A press conference that was held to announce the new order focused on the return of contact sports.

The new order requires restaurants to continue limiting capacity to 25% of normal seating and closing indoor dining between the hours of 10 p.m. and 4 a.m.
