Sacramento restaurants ask for indoor waivers due to bad air quality

Restaurants in Sacramento County can't open for indoor service due to the novel coronavirus outbreak and the resulting public health restrictions. Restaurants can only serve food outdoors, but because it's been so smoky or too hot, business took another hit. The Sacramento Region Restaurants Association asked the state for a public health exception to allow for 50% capacity indoor dining if the air quality index goes above 150, which is considered unhealthy for all groups. Basically, this industry wants a flexible, long-term plan because COVID-19 and wildfires are here for the long run. Get the full story in the video above.
