Vermont has loosened up some of its COVID-19 restrictions for eating at restaurants, just in time for Mother’s Day.
People who do not live with their mothers, but would like to take them out to eat, are allowed to do so under the state’s current rules as multiple households are allowed to dine together at restaurants. Restrictions have loosened as more Vermonters become vaccinated against COVID-19.
Restaurants across the state are currently taking reservations for Mother’s Day, including for brunch. Some have specialized menus for the occasion.
