CLEVELAND — A popular restaurant in Cleveland is taking extra precautions to protect its patrons and staff from coronavirus.
Felice Urban Cafe, 12502 Larchmere Blvd, now requires customers to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test that is less than three days old.
"Given the increase in COVID cases, we are taking steps to keep our staff and guests safe," the restaurant said in an Instagram post.
You don't have to bring in your physical vaccination card though, photos of the card are also accepted.
"We appreciate your patience and understanding to help protect our community and we are grateful for your continued support of Felice," the restaurant said.
