Florida Bars Get the Green Light to Open at 50 Percent Monday
Starting Monday (9/14) bars in Florida can reopen at 50% indoor capacity.
Halsey Beshears, Secretary of Department of Business & Professional Regulation, made the announcement Thursday evening.
Earlier this summer the state issued an executive order that suspended bars from serving alcohol due to rising COVID-19 numbers.
We are rescinding amended EO 20-09 from DBPR as of Monday. Starting Monday, all bars will be reopened at 50% occupancy. pic.twitter.com/YqQR2MkJpR
