Dozens of metro Atlanta restaurants have temporarily closed in recent months after employees tested positive for the coronavirus.

They include the Varsity, a historic fast food restaurant in Midtown Atlanta, which has since reopened.

At the popular Ponce City Market in Atlanta, six retail establishments or tenants closed at least temporarily after employees were infected, the company that owns the property confirmed to GHN.
