DENVER (AP) — Health officials closed a Colorado restaurant that offered sit-down dining on Mother’s Day in defiance of state rules aimed at containing the coronavirus.
A video showed a packed house and no social distancing at C&C Breakfast and Korean Kitchen.
One of the owners told KCNC-TV he wanted to stand up for small businesses and get the attention of lawmakers.
Gov. Jared Polis said the restaurant was causing an immediate health hazard, and its business license will be suspended until it is no longer a threat.
Health officials say it could be revoked if the restaurant owners refuse to remain closed.
