Nate ‘n Al’s has temporarily shuttered its take out operation after a cluster of COVID-19 cases among its staff. The iconic Beverly Hills delicatessen made the announcement Jan. 4 in an Instagram post, saying that it would reopen on Jan. 12.
“We have made the decision to voluntary [sic] close Nate N Al’s due to four of our employees testing positive for COVID over the weekend,” Nate ‘n Al’s owner Shelli Azoff said in a statement. “Out of caution and for the utmost safety of our staff and guests, we felt it was best to close temporarily. We are taking every necessary precaution, and after testing all of our employees, we will safely re-open on Tuesday, Jan. 12th.”
