With the District’s COVID-19 cases trending in an optimistic direction and vaccination numbers increasing, officials will ease more restrictions on outdoor dining, fitness centers, and places of worship starting May 1.

On Saturday, outdoor restaurants will be permitted to seat ten people at a table, up from the previous limit of six, and alcohol can be served without a food requirement (as has been the rule throughout the pandemic.) Live music will also be allowed for gardens and other outdoor dining spaces.

Mayor Muriel Bowser, who announced the changes during a press conference on Monday, did not change the 25% capacity limit on indoor dining.

Gyms and fitness centers can operate at 50% capacity (or 250 people) while indoor gym classes can host 25 people. Places of worship can increase capacity to 40%, but the city is still encouraging virtual and outdoor services.

Monday’s news comes in addition to the rollbacks Bowser announced earlier this month, also set to go into effect on May 1. Entertainment venues like concert halls and movie theaters, as well as special event spaces, can increase capacity to 25%. (Entertainment venues will be capped at 500 people, while any special event like a wedding will require a city waiver if attendance will exceed 250 people.) The city’s public pools will be allowed to open at 50% capacity this summer, and splash pads in the city will open with no capacity limit on May 1.

Since last week, the city has sustained a community spread metric within the “moderate” zone for the first time in several months, an indication of the city’s ability to further rollback pandemic-era business restrictions, according to Bowser. On Monday, D.C. recorded a daily case rate per 100,000 residents below 14, a number not sustained since last fall.

Bowser also touted the city’s vaccination progress as further justification for the changes to the city’s pandemic-era operations. As of Monday, 363,307 D.C. residents have received at least one dose of the vaccine (33.6% of the population) with 142,756 residents fully vaccinated (roughly 20% of the population). The city is also standing up 11 walk-up vaccination sites on Saturday — no appointment needed — and will discontinue its pre-registration system, a step toward supply meeting demand.

“We’ve reached equilibrium and might be there for a little bit,” D.C. Health Director LaQuandra Nesbitt said of the city’s stance with vaccine supply and residents who want it during the Monday press conference.

Bowser said that future changes to the city’s business operations will come as officials continue to monitor case and infection rates.

“We’ll look at what vaccinations and infections are doing, to see if we’re able to forecast sometime in advance,” Bowser said on Monday. “We will likely have another forecast of what future activity could open pending our vaccination levels and infection rates moving in the right direction.”
