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.
