A Swift Current hotel is temporarily closing its doors during the COVID-19 pandemic, starting Monday, March 30.

The Coast Swift Current Hotel announced in a press release on Friday that the decision for a temporary closure has been made in what they state is "in the best interest of their guests, staff, and community."

"There comes a time where a business needs to weigh the pros and cons of staying open. And we are committed to being an active participant in doing the right thing to ‘flatten the curve’,” owner Patti Rogers said in the release.

They added that Smiley's Bar & Grill will remain open for delivery and curbside pick-up during this time.

A date the Coast will re-open is yet to be determined.
