NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — North Myrtle Beach -- and its surrounding areas -- is a popular summertime vacation destination for Northeast Ohio families.
If you have plans to visit that part of the state anytime soon, a handful of restaurants in the area have decided to temporarily close due to coronavirus concerns -- some involving their staff. These closures come as South Carolina reached a new record high for daily coronavirus cases on Sunday, according to our sister station WLTX.
South Carolina's restaurants have been permitted to welcome dine-in guests since May 11.
Below is a an explanation from recent social media posts of what caused some restaurants to temporarily close their doors. You'll notice multiple restaurants made the decision after an employee at those particular locations tested positive for COVID-19.
