WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA - MAY 14: Mannequins costumed in 1940s era clothing are seated in the dining area of the Inn at Little Washington, a Michelin three star restaurant in the Virginia countryside, in Rappahannock County May 14, 2020 in Washington, Virginia. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commonwealth of Virginia will allow restaurants to reopen at only 50 percent capacity to maintain social distancing. However, the chef at the restaurant, Patrick OConnell, plans to keep the mannequins in place when the business reopens on May 29 rather than let the tables sit vacant when diners return.

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES. 13 MAY 2020. The drive-in cinema is making a comeback at Mall Of The Emirates, as the property and VOX Cinemas take the movie-going experience outdoors. With social distancing measures keeping traditional theatres closed for the foreseeable future, a large screen has been assembled in the shopping centre's upper parking lot (level 3 near Ski Dubai) in front of which patrons will be able to take position, switch off their engines and settle in for some silver screen action all while observing sensible practices to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
