Eligible for vaccination booster means that 6 months have passed since receipt of your second dose of Moderna or Pfizer or 2 months have passed since receipt of your initial single-dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
Governor Ige lifted capacity limits Friday for gyms, bars and restaurants. These establishments may now operate at full capacity with the implementation of requiring proof of vaccination or negative Covid test within 48 hours. Outdoor establishments are not subject to restrictions.
Indoor establishments are still required to be seated 6 feet apart. This for some business with smaller square footage will still have them remaining at 50% capacity, but they are hopeful that this is the beginning of more restrictions being lifted.
