In March 2020, at the start of the pandemic, McDonald’s restaurants closed their dining rooms and play areas. While many restaurants have started reopening their dining rooms in May 2021, not all of them have reopened.

The fast-food chain has already provided instructions to franchises located in areas that are heavily affected by the Delta COVID-19 variant, a variant that is more than two times as contagious as previous variants.
