HOUSTON – Memorial Day is looking a little different thanks to the coronavirus pandemic. As places work to reopen, it is a little unclear of what is opened and closed, but there are a few things to note.
Most businesses such as restaurants and grocery stores will be open (provided they have already reopened). Remember to check with your local store or restaurant before you go as hours and capacity limits may be different due to the pandemic.
