Mike Garibaldi is shutting down the dining rooms at his three Garibaldi’s Pizza locations and returning to take-out only as COVID numbers rise in Shelby County. “I have eight grandkids I want to be able to see and a bunch of employees I want to protect, both their health and their paychecks,” he said.

Some Memphis restaurants are temporarily shutting down because of staff members who’ve tested positive for coronavirus, and at least one is going to takeout only for now.
