Most of Florida’s retail stores and restaurants can resume operating indoors at a limited capacity starting next week on Monday, May 4, as the first phase of reopening the economy kicks off in the state.
Indoor patronage will be allowed for up to 25 people, and outdoor seatings will be allowed with appropriate social distancing, such as tables being positioned six feet apart, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said at a news conference on Wednesday as he announced phase one of the plan called “Safe. Smart. Step-by-Step. Plan for Florida’s Recovery” (pdf).
