Cape Cod Coronavirus Outbreak Traces Back To Chatham Restaurant

The restaurant was temporarily closed for cleaning and alternated being open and closed throughout the last week for similar reasons. The employees who are considered close contacts of those who tested positive have been advised to self-quarantine for 14 days.
