Restaurants continue to battle COVID-19 infections among employees, with some closing to combat the problem, others cleaning and sanitizing overnight or during business hours.
Closures related to COVID-19 usually come to light when restaurants alert their customers on social media about deep cleaning or sick employees. Most Southern California county health departments add information about employee infections to reports on routine inspections or those spurred by COVID complaints, but Orange County Health Care Agency does not.
Here’s a list of restaurants with novel coronavirus concerns, along with a few that have addressed the issue and reopened.
