Monday marked a big day for Floridians and many local economies as the state entered what Gov. Ron DeSantis called “full phase one” of his plan to reopen amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Under “full phase one” all provisional openings instated on May 4 remain, but some guidelines have loosened and some have been added.
DeSantis said “full phase one” restaurants and retail stores would be able to increase operational capacity, gyms would be able to open at 50% capacity, amusement parks would be able to submit reopening plans for approval and professional sports teams would be allowed to practice in approved venues.
