Thanks. Most articles that I could find just said it was until further notice. That seems like a long time right out of the gate though. We have many small locally owned restaurants around here that I really hope can survive this.
I think the total ban on restaurants having open dining rooms was in response to the Spring Breakers. Before they totally closed dining areas and required takeout, curbside or delivery only, they required restaurant to reduce seating capability to 50% of what it was and have six feet between each table. Plus close down any bar, including bars in restaurants where they had to close if they produced 50% or more of the restaurant income. The photos from Clearwater were the straw that broke the camel's back. Our beaches here are still open to people who are staying on the beach. If you need to enter through the public access or the private Resident's Beach, you cannot. Those are all closed. All the county owned beaches and county beach parking are closed as of Thursday.
