Gov. Jared Polis on Monday blasted Colorado businesses that over the weekend flouted rules meant to keep the coronavirus from spreading out of control, saying he was \u201cextremely disappointed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Polis announced that his administration is indefinitely suspending the license of C&C Coffee and Korean Kitchen, the Castle Rock restaurant that was packed full of dine-in customers<\/a> on Sunday in defiance of his orders only allowing restaurants to offer delivery and takeout. He said the business is causing an immediate health hazard.<\/p>\n

C&C Coffee and Korean Kitchen\u2019s owners said they were standing up for small businesses and expected sanctions. Polis said it\u2019s likely the suspension will last about 30 days, which means the restaurant could be closed after he allows in-person dining to resume.<\/p>\n

He said that people who are thinking about disobeying orders meant to keep the virus at bay should think about their neighbors who stand to lose loved ones \u2014 and those who already have suffered loss.<\/p>\n
