Glenwood South draws big crowds with no masks, limited social distancing
Despite the record-high hospitalization numbers due to COVID-19, Glenwood South was booming over the weekend, with crowds of people not wearing masks and practicing very limited social distancing.
Posted — UpdatedSaturday night, Raleigh Mayor Mary-Ann Baldwin said she spoke to business owners about practicing social distancing standards after large crowds were seen this weekend at restaurants in Raleigh.
"Owners have put down tape and demonstrated responsibility. I have spoke with many of them. They understand what is expected," she said.
Baldwin also said she was shown video that crowds downtown were maintaining social distancing.
While many still worry about the spread of COVID-19, others don’t seem as concerned.
Businesses do appear to be following the 50% capacity restrictions. Once they fill up inside, the lines start forming outside. Capacity restrictions drives the lines because it turns into a one-in-one-out situation.
Currently, customers are not mandated to wear a mask inside restaurants in Wake County.
Bars and nightclubs are still completely shutdown.
