ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Friday morning that Florida is moving into full Phase 3 of its reopening.
The order specifically lifts
COVID-19 restrictions on restaurants.
Restaurants can now operate at a
minimum of 50% capacity -- meaning they are fully open. Gov. DeSantis
says if local governments try to restrict the reopening of any restaurant,
they need state's approval.
