LIST: What Columbus restaurants are open, closed during coronavirus pandemic

Chairs were set upside down on tables inside Fountain City Coffee Co. Monday as management hoped to discourage people from lingering after purchasing their beverages.

On Tuesday, the coffee shop had sent all of its employees home to self-isolate, while co-owners Jud and Edy Richardson and another employee worked to-go orders and curbside delivery.

By Friday, the shop had announced they would be closing for the foreseeable future.

A Facebook post cited the first confirmed novel coronavirus case in Muscogee County as the tipping point.

It’s a story being repeated not only across Columbus but across the entire country this week as the count of people testing positive for COVID-19 has continued to rise with more and more test kits becoming available.

Columbus Mayor Skip Henderson announced Friday evening that all restaurants must close dine-in services and transition to take-out options.

Some restaurants continue to offer limited and no-contact delivery and to-go orders, while others have closed shop to ride out the pandemic. The Ledger-Enquirer has compiled a list of the status of local restaurants:
