Indaba Coffee Roasters owner Bobby Enslow opted to temporarily close all Indaba locations in early July after learning an employee had been in contact with a positive COVID-19 case.
While many local eateries have been forthcoming when an employee or recent customer tests positive for the virus, quickly closing to the public to sanitize and regroup, others without any COVID-19 case links have also done so in the interest of public safety. Others, meanwhile, have also been forthcoming after learning of employees who've been exposed outside of the restaurant to a positive case.
The Inlander will continually update this list, sharing both venues that have been directly connected to positive cases as well as those opting to close despite Spokane County's current standing in Phase 2 of Washington's reopening plan, which has allowed for limited dine-in service since mid May.
