BIG RAPIDS After a year of shutdowns and financial struggles, and now with the recent increase of positive COVID-19 cases in Michigan, local restaurant owners are between a rock and a hard place.
Citing the increase in COVID-19 cases, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer urged a two-week suspension of indoor dining Friday, stopping short of a mandatory order.
“At this point, we think it is important that people understand how very serious this is,” Whitmer said during a news conference. “We are going to have some tough weeks ahead, so I am asking everyone to please take this seriously. We have to do this together. Lives depend on it.”
