DeSantis: Florida Restaurants, Bars Can Return to Full Capacity

   Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a Republican, announced Friday that the
   state would move forward with reopening plans despite the spread of the
   coronavirus.

   Phase 3 of the state's reopening plan includes lifting restrictions,
   including capacity limits, on the state's bars, nightclubs and
   restaurants. In addition, under Phase 3, businesses that have had
   staffs teleworking as a result of the pandemic are allowed to resume
   unrestricted staffing on site, employees can resume nonessential
   travel, theme parks are able to return to normal operations, and gyms
   and fitness centers can operate at full capacity.

   While the order affects food establishments, DeSantis said many of
   those have been operating in the state as usual.
