Initially, they announced that the closures came as a result of "a rise of positive Covid-19 cases in the area," but the following day the positive staff cases were confirmed.

The Tipsy Cow said it will reopen tonight, followed by Boca Cafe and Bar and Cinco's Mexican Restaurant tomorrow (Thursday September 17) and Rumba Bar on Friday (September 18).

The Alley had made no announcements regarding a reopening date.

All businesses were contacted by The Gazette at the time of closing, but did not respond to requests for comment.
