Under this Order, the restriction on the late-night sale of alcohol for on-site consumption is lifted. Capacity limitations on all businesses are increased and the cap on the number of individuals who can gather at any one time in certain indoor spaces, such as bars, is lifted. The mass gathering limit increased to 50 people indoors and 100 people outdoors. EO204 has three general categories of occupancy restrictions, see the EO204 FAQ's for details.
