This week–Week 3 of Governor Jim Justice’s reopening plan–the governor announced plans for Week 4 to commence Thursday, May 21. Please note that he has yet to issue an actual order to this effect, so this is currently only a tentative plan.

On that date, if the governor issues the planned order, the following changes will go into effect:

• Indoor dining will be permitted at restaurants, with seating limited to 50 percent of normal occupancy (download guidelines here)
