As more retailers nationally, including Old Navy, are requiring customers to wear masks, locally the strain of dealing with COIVD-19 is again beginning to show.

At least two area restaurants have decided to shut down dining areas, returning to delivery and take out only. Mama DiGrado’s made the decision as of yesterday, while Smokin’ G’s will close it’s in-person service as of Friday, according to their social media posts. Both cited the rise in virus cases in the area, along with the effect the situation was having on their employees and staff.
