Florida taking next steps in reopening process Monday

Jacksonville FL — Beginning this Monday, the State of Florida will begin to take the next steps in reopening. Governor Ron DeSantis announced Friday that the state will move into what he calls a full phase one. With these next steps, gyms will be allowed to reopen at 50% capacity with social distancing and proper cleaning measures in place.

“There’s a light at the end of the tunnel, we have a pathway back and this continues us on that journey.” DeSantis says.

In addition to the gyms reopening, restaurants and retailers will be able to operate at 50% capacity. Museums and libraries will be able to operate at half capacity as well.

DeSantis says movie theaters and bars will remain closed for now.

For short-term rentals, DeSantis says counties that want to open them have to provide a safety plan and have that plan approved by the state.
