Popular downtown Worcester restaurant Armsby Abbey will close until Jan. 5, ownership announced on Facebook on Wednesday.
The short post said the closure was a precautionary measure related to rising health and safety concerns. The closure was first reported by local social media provider The016.com.
The restaurant previously closed in June 2020 during the early peaks of the coronavirus pandemic, saying at the time sales had dropped 90%.
Originally, Armsby was slated to reopen in September of that year, but the reopening was then postponed indefinitely. The restaurant ultimately reopened in April 2021.
The closure announcement comes in the same week that Worcester – and the United States – have set record daily case counts for COVID-19, amid a surge local health officials expect to last through January.
