In response to declining COVID-19 cases and increased vaccine availability, St. Louis County on Monday eased certain restrictions that were put in place to prevent the spread of the virus.

Under the revised guidelines:

• All businesses can stay open until midnight.
• Indoor banquet and conference centers can operate at 25% capacity.
• Outdoor event venues can have 50% capacity with social distancing.
• Sporting venues can submit a plan to the county for approval.

In addition, a new St. Louis city order allows bars, restaurants and nightclubs to remain open until midnight.
