McDonald's Corp had instructed its franchisees in the US on steps to take in re-closing their dining rooms in areas where the Delta variant is rapidly spreading.
The fast-food chain's executives suggested that franchisees close indoor seating in counties where COVID cases exceed 250 per 100,000 people on a three-week average.
It was uncertain how many restaurants shut indoor seating or could soon do so.
McDonald's Corp said it has convened with its franchisees to underscore existing safety protocols, reinforce its people-first approach, and provide updates on the rise of cases.
McDonald's USA President Joe Erlinger said they have a much deeper sense of what actions make a difference for the safety of restaurant teams and crew.
