<human>:  What are the restrictions on outdoor dining in my local area?
<bot>: The restrictions on outdoor dining in your local area depend on your location and may vary based on local health department guidelines. Generally, outdoor dining is limited to parties of less than six people, restaurant staff must wear masks, tables should be spaced at least 6 feet apart, and customers should maintain a safe distance from each other while queuing or waiting in line. Many states also recommend that customers and staff should wear gloves while handling any food or beverage items.
