Published December 9, 2020 at 8:41AM | Updated December 16, 2020 at 5:36AM

Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich today announced further safety restrictions in order to slow the dramatic increase in COVID-19 cases in the County and throughout the Washington region. The restrictions will begin at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 15.

The new Executive Order 139-20 will restrict restaurant service to outdoor dining. Carry-out, delivery and drive-through service will be allowed to continue. The order also limits indoor sports gatherings to a maximum of 10 people total. (Outdoor dining will be prohibited between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., per an existing Executive Order from Maryland Governor Larry Hogan.) The maximum capacity for retail establishments has been changed to one person per 200 square feet of retail space—not to exceed a maximum of 150 persons.

Ohh ohh Jeffrey’s? You read it correctly. The Burtonsville Jerry’s on Old Columbia Pike has undergone a re-branding that has lead to a name change.

Owner Jeffrey Marcus has owned the restaurant for over 30 years and has decided to part ways with Jerry’s branding, due to franchising fees associated with keeping the brand. Going forward the restaurant will be called Jeffrey’s, and we are told some other Jerry’s locations in the DMV could also be rebranding for the same reason.
