Gov. Ron DeSantis has initiated the second phase of the state’s reopening, as residents and visitors adapt to new routines amid COVID-19.
As has been recommended all along, senior citizens and individuals with significant underlying medical conditions continue to be strongly encouraged to avoid crowds and take measures to limit exposure to COVID-19
Under phase two:
- Groups of 50 or more should be avoided
- Those working in long-term care facilities should be tested regularly for COVID-19
- In-store retail businesses, including gyms and fitness facilities, should maintain appropriate social distancing and sanitation protocols.
- Restaurants, bars and other vendors licensed to sell alcoholic beverages for consumption on premises may operate at 50% of their indoor capacity, excluding employees. Outdoor seating also is permissible, with appropriate social distancing. This section does not apply to nightclubs.
- Entertainment businesses, including but not limited to movie theaters, concert houses, auditoriums, playhouses, bowling alleys and arcades may operate at 50% of their building capacity, with appropriate social distancing between groups and appropriate sanitation.
- Personal services, including, but not limited to tattooing, body piercing, acupuncture, tanning and massage, may operate with appropriate safety guidelines as outlined by the Florida Department of Health.
