Orlando residents are currently under a stay at home order and Orange County Mayor, Jerry Demings, recently commented on how long he expects restrictions to stay in place

According to Click Orlando ( a division of Orlando’s CBS affiliate), Demings stated local hospitals are starting to see a “daily reduction in the number of patients being admitted and placed in intensive care.” However, local-area businesses are still feeling the significant impacts of the current events.

Demings speculates “given the models, it could be June — early June — where we see some relaxing of the restrictions in place. But they would have to stay in place to some degree through late summer.”
