The announcement of Florida’s extreme loosening of restrictions comes as the state marks almost 700,000 coronavirus cases since the beginning of the pandemic
state will allow restaurants and bars to reopen at full capacity
on September 26, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced a similar lifting of restrictions in his state, as it moves today, September 25, into phase three of reopening. The full reopening of restaurants in Florida, which were previously allowed to operate at 50 percent capacity, is concerning, considering the COVID-19 pandemic is far from under control in the state. The order also allows local governments to lift the 50 percent capacity limits on bars, if they so choose.
That COVID-19 spreads aggressively when social distancing isn’t enforced has been well documented, and this is of particular concern at restaurants and bars where people are in close proximity to one another. Afrom the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that “adults who tested positive for Covid-19 were approximately twice as likely to have reported dining at a restaurant in the 14 days before becoming ill than those who tested negative.
