CORONAVIRUS: McDonald’s Closing All Dining and Play Areas

McDonald’s is taking steps to curb the coronavirus by closing down all dining and play areas at its restaurants across the country, effective today.

The fast-food giant says it will continue serving customers via drive-thrus and delivery services. The decision comes as many cities and states have ordered restaurants and bars to close. Other fast-food chains including Starbucks have already closed off dining areas, and more are expected to follow suit. (NY Post)

Hot Takes:

  • Most people go to the drive-thru anyway, so this shouldn’t be too different.
  • As people are urged to stay home, every business is taking a huge hit.
  • I guess I better stock up on burgers and fries just in case McDonald’s completely closes down.
