Scott lifts 10 p.m. curfew for bars, restaurants and social clubs

The full reopening of Vermont is slated for the coming weeks, but Gov. Phil Scott has jump-started one reopening measure: The lifting of a 10 p.m. curfew on Vermont businesses.

“We’ve gone from less than 30% to over 50% of the 18-to-29 age band vaccinated in the last month,” he said.

That means restaurants, bars and social clubs can operate under their normal business hours beginning Saturday, he said, unless local municipalities place additional restrictions on their area.

Scott has said he plans to drop almost all Covid restrictions when Vermont has 80% of the eligible population with at least one dose of the vaccine. Right now, the state is at roughly 77%, although the exact number is uncertain due to federal data issues.
