Restaurants and bars tackle surge in COVID-19 cases and new mask rules

After a few busy and hopeful months, restaurants still digging out of pandemic debt now fear they could be done in by the fast-spreading Delta variant of the coronavirus.

"The last few months have been very promising, after a year and a half of going into the red," Ivy Mix, co-owner of Leyenda, a cocktail bar and restaurant in Brooklyn, New York, told CBS MoneyWatch. "Now it's, 'Oh god, is this going to be it?' again."  As cases of COVID-19 reignite across the country, retailers and state and local governments are back to encouraging or requiring people to wear masks inside public places, with the cautionary moves signaling potentially bigger trouble ahead for restaurants and bars.
