Several restaurants throughout Door and Kewaunee Counties are blaming the coronavirus for shutting down their establishments for at least a few days if not the rest of the year. Chop in Sister Bay and Donny’s Glidden Lodge in Sturgeon Bay are closed until at least October due to positive tests on their staff.
MacReady’s Artisan Bread Company in Egg Harbor cited the rising cases for its decision to close for the weekend. Northern Grill, Analog, and Grasse’s Grill in Sister Bay have been open during the fall months in the past, but all three closed their doors for the season just after Labor Day, thanking customers for their support during the pandemic-riddled season on social media.
In Kewaunee County, some restaurants like The Grove in Kewaunee switched to carry-out only for a period of time while it evaluates sanitation procedures and other steps to mitigate the spread of the virus.
Positive COVID-19 test counts have gone up drastically since the beginning of the month, growing from 188 to 461 in Kewaunee County and 134 to 298 in Door County as of Friday morning.
