ORLANDO, Fla. – Florida has just begun its first baby steps in reopening businesses that spent weeks closed to stop the spread of COVID-19 and already some are wondering what it will look like when the state enters the next milestone.
Gov. Ron DeSantis hasn’t given any kind of timeline for when phase two will begin. The first phase, which involved opening restaurants and stores at limited capacity, began May 4.
When DeSantis made the announcement in late April that the statewide stay-at-home order would soon be lifted, he said he was “thinking about weeks, not thinking about months” in terms of when the next phase would begin.
