Mérida, Yucatán, (July 22, 2021).- As a result of the constant meetings with restauranteurs of Yucatán to listen to their concerns and needs, the State Government and the representatives of that sector reached new agreements that will come into force in the near future, if the Committee of Experts in Public Health approves them and the conditions of the pandemic allow it, which are the following:
The restaurants will be able to offer their services to the public until 11 at night.
To ensure that restaurant workers can return to their homes after their shift, Extraordinary Mobility Permits will be issued so that duly identified vehicles and personnel can circulate until 12:30 am; extending the vehicular mobility restriction.
The capacity at the tables in these establishments will be expanded from 6 to 8 people.
