The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation ordered emergency closures for three restaurants in Palm Beach County and nearby areas during the week of Nov. 8, according to a state list published by the Boca Raton Tribune.

The IHOP at 4745 W. Atlantic Ave. in Delray Beach was closed Nov. 6 because of roach activity. MacArthur’s at 4000 RCA Blvd. in Palm Beach Gardens was closed Nov. 5 for fly activity. El Churrasco Grill 2 LLC, at 2995 SE Dixie Hwy. in Stuart, was closed Nov. 3 after rodent activity was found.

Emergency closures are issued when conditions pose an immediate threat to public health. The state list does not say when the restaurants may reopen. Diners who want to know whether a restaurant has reopened can check with the state division or the business directly.
