As city, state, and federal officials continue to monitor and react to the COVID-19—or coronavirus—pandemic, governments are taking a variety of actions including limiting group events, closing schools, and suspending non-essential operations. On Sunday, multiple state governments announced closures of restaurants, bars, breweries, and other businesses. The CDC also released a new recommendation for avoiding or canceling any gather of 50 or more people in an effort to limit the spread of the virus.
Some national chain restaurants have taken action on their own, including Starbucks which, also on Sunday, announced it would be suspending in-store seating, converting all company-owned stores to carryout and delivery hubs only, and committing to temporarily closing stores in places like shopping malls and college campuses where large groups of people gather.
Some chefs and restaurateurs have made similar efforts of their own volition, including José Andrés, David Chang, and Danny Meyer, who closed all or most of their respective U.S. restaurants in recent days.
Here are the states that have closed restaurants and bars due to coronavirus so far:

Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the closure of bars, wineries, breweries, and nightclubs indefinitely, and called for restaurants to operate at 50-percent capacity in accordance with social distancing practices.

Washington, D.C. also has previously instituted a ban on bar seating and service to standing customers, with a maximum of six persons per seated table and a minimum of six feet between tables.
