ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – Workers began handing out personal protective equipment to Orange County small business owners on Monday as part of an effort to help small businesses meet Florida’s guidelines for reopening.
Orange County officials said one million masks and 200,000 bottles of hand sanitizer are available to be distributed to as many as 20,000 small businesses throughout the county. "We owe it to our citizens to make sure that we have appropriate sanitary measures in place to stop this virus." Mayor Jerry Demings said.
On Monday, several dozen vehicles lined up outside Orange Technical College, which is one of six locations where small business owners can schedule a date and time for the drive-thru pickup.
