Philly Restaurants Can Double Indoor Seating Starting This Weekend — But There’s a Catch | Eater Philly

"Nicole Marquis, founder of Save Philly Restaurants and owner of HipCityVeg, says “the process as currently written is still difficult, cumbersome and expensive for most restaurants to try to comply with, at a time when we are already skating on thin ice.” Her coalition presented alternate, cheaper ways to improve circulation and filtration — including allowing stand-alone air purification units without exhaust — but those suggestions didn’t make the cut, and she warns that most restaurants won’t be able to meet the new requirements, leaving them stuck at 25 percent occupancy for the foreseeable future, which she calls untenable financially." - Tierney Plumb
