Several more local bars and restaurants have closed temporarily due to employees testing positive for COVID-19 or showing symptoms of the viral respiratory illness. On Wednesday, The Stage Restaurant & Cafe in downtown Keene said in a Facebook post it had decided to close to give all employees time to be tested after one received a positive result for COVID-19. âWe will reopen only once we feel that it is completely safe to do so,â the post says. âAs always, we are truly appreciative of your support during these difficult times and we look forward to dining with you again soon.â
