An Atlanta guide during the Coronavirus pandemic
Closings, openings, social distancing, things to do while you shelter-in-place, and what you can do to protect yourself and others, like wear a mask and keep your nose and mouth covered while doing so.

As the world countinues to struggle with the realities of the coronavirus pandemic, and we in the United States grapple with discerning the difference between the fact and fiction of COVID-19 in this election year, Creative Loafing is here for our readers and supporters, to give you the reality of facts on the ground in Atlanta. Life is no longer “business as usual” — the wearing of masks is not a health precaution, but a political statement. As directives and guidelines change, we are confident that Atlantans will continue to meet the challenge with great entreprenurial spirit and present food, music, arts, and culture in safe and creative ways.
We will continuously add updates and changes to our guides and listings as new information on local businesses and events come to us.
Be safe. Be healthy. Wash your hands.
Wear a mask!
