Phase 4 allows for the safe reopening or expansion of several key business segments such as health and fitness, movies and theater, museums and zoos, as well as indoor dining at restaurants. Phase 4 also allows for expanded gathering sizes, increasing the limit from 10 in Phase 3 to 50 people or fewer.  This expanded gathering limit extends to key activities like meetings, events and funerals.
