Update: On March 15, Gov. Baker ordered all Massachusetts restaurants and bars to halt dining in for three weeks. Businesses will still be allowed to offer takeout and delivery. The signed order will remain in effect through April 5 “unless further extended,” with restaurants and bars able to reopen on April 6.
As local residents are urged to practice social distancing in an effort to halt the spread of COVID-19, restaurants owners are now faced with a pressing question: To close or not to close?
For many who have opted to stay open, the focus is shifting from dining in to takeout and delivery, as well as limiting operating hours and adjusting communal seating arrangements. But as of Saturday, a handful of restaurants have decided to temporarily cease operations altogether, promising to reopen when the threat of coronavirus is no longer widespread.
Here is a running list of coronavirus-related closures in the restaurants and bars world, with reopening dates included if available.
