On Friday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced that Miami-Dade County will move into Phase 2 of the statewide reopening plan starting Monday.
During Phase 2, state authorities allow the capacity to increase at stores, restaurants and gyms. Amusement parks were also allowed to reopen.
While Florida is allowing bars to reopen on Monday, Gimenez said bars and nightclubs are not allowed to reopen just yet in Miami-Dade County.
“My administration will be looking at what businesses we can reopen that were forced to close in June because of the spike after Memorial Day,” Gimenez said. “Those include entertainment venues like movie theaters, bowling alleys, playhouses and arcades.”
Miami-Dade moved into Phase 1 on May 18. This allowed retail stores, restaurants, barbershops and hair salons and professional sports venues to operate with limitations. Elective surgeries also resumed.
Phase 2 took effect in the entire state — except for Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties — on June 5.
