Breaking: Governor Announces Plan to Reopen Florida
Governor Ron DeSantis just announced his plan for Florida’s recovery, and it has some immediate impacts for Florida hospitality industry. Restaurants, except for those in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, may serve indoors with 25% capacity and outdoors with six feet social distancing rules under the plan’s initial phase. Bars and nightclubs remain closed under phase one.
In a particularly helpful move, the Governor extended his earlier executive order which allows SFS licensees to sell alcohol for delivery and take-out.
