HARRISBURG, Pa. — A total of 15 restaurants across the state — including 11 in Central Pennsylvania — were closed for refusing to comply the Department of Agriculture’s COVID-19 mitigation enforcement actions between Jan. 11-17, according to numbers released by the department Wednesday.

One of the restaurants was A Taste of Sicily in Palmyra, Lebanon County, which has run afoul of the state’s COVID-19 enforcement efforts before.

Two other Lebanon County restaurants received closure notices, as well as four restaurants in Dauphin County, three in Lancaster County, and one in Cumberland County, the department said.
