SUMTER COUNTY, Fla. – Sumter County, which has 51 cases of COVID-19, issued a stay-at-home order Tuesday that will remain in effect until April 30.
The order was added as an extension to a local state of emergency that was already in place, a county official said. The area was already under a curfew from 9 p.m.
to 6 a.m., although residents can travel to and from work at that time. Other than Sumter, Orange and Osceola counties are the only other two in Central Florida to issue stay-at-home orders.
Seminole County, on the other hand, has issued a social distancing order that requires businesses to reduce capacity and residents to keep six feet away from each other.
