<p class="MsoNormal">To clarify:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This 10 person restriction is the same one that has been in effect for a while in regions 1-5 & 7 (most of the state south of the top of the mitten).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>ALL this 10 person limit applies to are situations where people congregate in close proximity – parties, meetings, programs, weddings, etc.
<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It <b>DOES NOT</b> apply to library occupancy overall. <o:p>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Libraries in regions 1-5, & 7 are still under the occupancy restrictions in section 6 of E) 2020-175 (the workplace restrictions) that restrict libraries and retail to 25% of occupancy for buildings with less than 50,000 sq ft of public
space, and to 1 person per 100 sq ft for those libraries and retail with buildings of more than 50,000 sq ft of public space.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Libraries in regions 6 & 8 are exempt from the occupancy limitations in EO 2020-175, but must limit situations where people from different households may get together for a shared activity.<o:p></o:p></p>
