NORTH PLATTE, Neb.-Just when it felt like we were moving forward, it's beginning to feel like we're moving backward.
Pop Corner in the Westfield Shopping Center is the latest restaurant in North Platte to announce that it was closing its dining room amid a spike in confirmed coronavirus cases.
A post on the Pop Corner Facebook page said, " It is with a heavy heart that we have decided to reclose the dining room at PopCorner. We are encouraging all of our customers to call their orders in, or use our online ordering service so that you are in and out of the lobby quickly."
Health officials elevated the risk level in Lincoln County after 23 new cases were reported over the last couple of days.
The announcement and rise in confirmed cases have canceled numerous events in the city, including the Nebraskaland Days concerts set for next weekend.
