In late April, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced that the majority of Florida would be able to re-open in phase one starting on May 4th. Excluded from that re-opening were several South Florida counties that were hit particularly hard by the health crisis, including Broward and Miami-Dade.
Now, Governor DeSantis has announced that these South Florida counties can begin opening next week!
In a press conference today, DeSantis announced that Broward and Miami-Dade counties can begin a phased re-opening starting this upcoming Monday, May 18th.
While stores and businesses will be able to re-open at partial capacity, beaches will remain closed at this time. DeSantis also clarified that the re-opening will not include “bars, gyms, movie theaters, bowling alleys or massage parlors”, according to the Sun Sentinel.
We will keep you up to date as we learn more about the re-opening of Florida.
