Washington, DC is taking precautions to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus including mandates to operate at half capacity, to space tables at least 6 feet apart, and to institute a six-person maximum per table. Customers cannot sit or stand at bar tops, but workers can mix drinks from behind a bar if no customers are present. People can sit at tables in bar areas if there are no workers behind the bar. Restaurant workers must wear masks. If they handle food, they must wear gloves. All customers have to wear masks when they’re not eating or drinking. Already open and thriving is Capital Yacht Club - Washington DC.
