The fried chicken chain KFC has closed dining rooms in corporate-owned stores in Florida because of the escalation in coronavirus cases in the state, according to a letter seen by Reuters.

“This guidance is part of our continued efforts to prioritize the health of our team members, customers, and the communities where they live and work,” the company said in a statement. Florida recorded more than 12,600 new coronavirus cases on Monday, its second-highest daily total since the outbreak began, coinciding with the state’s attempt to revive tourism and attract visitors to the recently reopened Disney World.

But fast food giants have not been in such a rush because their drive-thru sales have mostly made up for lost walk-in business during the pandemic.

Hold on there! I’m going to Disney World! My hotel is right next to KFC!

So bizarre that corporate America is to the point where they go beyond the governments suggestion and loose potential income. They have to be their own government since they have seen that ours will just sit back and watch us disappear. Very Sad.

Listen, I love chicken but this is truly for the best!

KFC should be closed down for cruelty to animals, both avian and human.

Why did they ever open in building dining. And does that mean non company owned will do what ever?

Devastation goes on and Bolsonaro's government will try to hide it from the rest of the world.

Oh that will cause many tiktoks.

Yeah, but I thought that was because they serve rats in their chicken...

KFC needs to close. Not so much from the pandemic, but because its not real chicken.

If KFC shuts down takeout the Trump Presidency is doomed.

They should have never opened.

This “might” be racist ...
