States Closed for Dining-In & Alcohol Service

Some states have different restrictions when it comes to reducing the spread of COVID. Safety measures such as sanitizing, cleaning, and wearing masks are important. However, with a rise in cases still ongoing, states are cracking down on the spread by closing businesses and social gathering places. Winter is not the only freeze we will see this 2020. Additionally, the close on businesses has also preceded a mandatory curfew for some states.
