Much if not most of the “outdoor” dining is with partial walls and often roofs. The key difference from indoor is open ventilation. However, they use heat lamps and heaters which tend to blow the air around the area and often downward. Doh!

There are a lot of memes on this "outdoor" topic.

In a lot of the USA you can eat in a pop-up tent like structures including those sophisticated types that people often use for "outdoor" weddings.  As it is cold in many places, the solution is to drop those vinyl walls to keep warmth and block the wind. 

The hybrid dining offers a new danger too.  Most of the structures are in parking lots or in street side parking spaces, so it becomes possible to get hit by drivers.  Ultimately the vinyl probably keeps the virus in, but can't keep wayward drivers out.
