restaurants in Louisville reopening
Therese Ngujo and Mark Acdol waited to welcome patrons back to Varanese on Friday.

Kentucky restaurants were allowed to reopen Friday, May 22, for inside dining under new rules. The regulations include that restaurants must limit allowed capacity to just a third inside, and tables must be spaced 6 feet apart. Also, only members of the same household can sit at the same table. Here is a peek from LEO photographer Kathryn Harrington at how that went on the first day in Louisville.
