Louisiana businesses that violate COVID restrictions get shut down

Known for fried chicken and daiquiris, Willie’s Chicken Shack, with eight locations around the French Quarter in New Orleans, is closed. Mayor LaTonya Cantrell says the business wasn’t complying with new restrictions that went into effect over the weekend.

“We did have a couple of bad actors,” said Cantrell when asked about compliance during a news conference Monday.

While not directly mentioning violations, at least some of the chain’s locations were reportedly serving alcoholic drinks to-go, which is prohibited. That restriction is part of the city’s efforts to stop the spread of coronavirus.
