Old Mission Peninsula restaurants are pivoting to curbside and take-out service or closing down entirely after new Covid-19 restrictions were issued for Michigan this week.
The new restrictions from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services – issued after Covid-19 cases and hospitalizations continue to rise in the state – began Wednesday, Nov. 18, and continue through Tuesday, Dec. 8.
