September 28, 2020 dhita yudha

CONNECTICUT (WTNH) — With some 20% of state eateries gone for good, the Phase 3 reopening rollout will fix some wounds for restaurants and businesses, but not others.

“As long as we keep our masks on, keep the distance, keep the rules that they set, then we should be fine,” said Jasmine Sheppard, a customer at the always bustling Zoi’s in New Haven.

“As long as people are practicing social distancing, I don’t think there’s going to be a problem,” agreed fellow customer, Greg Morehead.

The governor’s easing of indoor capacity limits for restaurants and salons from 50% to 75% is coming right on time.

“With the cold weather, with the outdoor seating, we’re going to lose that, so the fact that we’re going to have more indoor seating, it’s going to be a plus for us,” said Stacey Kattis with Zoi’s.

Salons are also looking forward to the easing
