Action news now reporter christina vitale is live at the crazy horse saloon.

Christina you spoke to the owner today.

He's actually in the caribbean now and told me he didn't know what was going on.

This is the picture floating around on the crazy horse' instagram page saying they're open and to come on down.

Several viewers sent messages us saying "this is not ok" owner brian buckley told me over the phone he's out of the country and was going off the cdc's initial 250 person limit and didn't know about the updated cdc guidelines& limiting gatherings to no more than 10 people.

You know i think they should maybe follow in the footsteps of kevin riley close down for a bit at least cause it got pretty serious in new york and everything lets not underestimate the seriousness of this and just stay at home and booze with your buddys there buckley told me he encouraged his staff not to work but they asked to stay open so they could pay their bills.

Buckley also says he wanted to stay open to give people a little relief from the coronavirus fears.

After i sent buckley a link to the new cdc he talked to his staff and it really opened their eye* and they are now closed.

Live in chico christina vitale action news now coverage you can count on.

And while this isn't mandatory for bars to close its recommended& and the owner of the crazy horse saloon told action news now the business is insured against such situations.
