One day after regional leaders announced broad new rules to limit gatherings in the St. Louis area to 50 people or fewer, St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson stressed their importance in “flattening the curve” of infections caused by the coronavirus across the U.S. Krewson stressed that while restaurants and bars are still open, they are subject to the 50-person limit at any point in time. They are also recommending that eateries move tables and other furniture so there is a six-foot space between diners. In this episode, Krewson also addresses restaurateurs’ questions about whether the region will follow the lead of Illinois and Ohio and shut down on-site dining.
