Coronavirus is closing more than 50 Sacramento restaurants. Here’s the list
Note: Mayors in Sacramento, West Sacramento and Davis urged all restaurants to switch to takeout- or delivery-only models on Tuesday afternoon. This list was curated prior to those announcements.
Gov. Gavin Newsom called for all Californians to stop gathering in groups entirely for the foreseeable future, now recommending that all restaurants stop serving meals in their establishments to combat the new coronavirus and its affiliated disease, which has killed six people statewide and infected more than 300 others.
“We are asking our restaurants to close down for the moment, offer takeout if they wish,” he said in a Facebook Live briefing from the Office of Emergency Services. It came a day after he urged restaurants to cut occupancy by 50 percent, and Sacramento establishments have been heeding the call.
These Sacramento restaurants have voluntarily closed to limit the spread of COVID-19. All closures are indefinite unless otherwise noted.
