Several San Francisco restaurants have been forced to temporarily close due to a spike in COVID-19 cases.
Aziza, a Moroccan restaurant in the Outer Richmond area, closed after several employees' breakthrough cases.

“We’ve been closed a week, and we’ll be closed probably another week,” co-owner Scott Chilcutt told ABC San Francisco station KGO. He mandated the vaccine for employees in the spring, but three staffers still recently tested positive even after getting shots.
Laurie Thomas, executive director of the Golden Gate Restaurant Association, said there’s only been a handful of recent closures, but each is painful.
"It’s like PTSD again," she said.
