CONCORD: New Hampshire restaurants statewide can resume indoor dining at full capacity, Gov. Chris Sununu said. Restaurants have been allowed to serve customers indoors since June 15, but those in Rockingham, Hillsborough, Merrimack and Strafford counties have been limited to 50% capacity because the majority of the state’s COVID-19 cases have occurred there. Restrictions remain related to the distance between tables, face mask requirements and limits on bar service.
