Looks like we're finally going into lockdown here.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issued a 'stay-at-home' order for the entire state to help slow the spread of COVID-19. The order will go into effect at midnight tomorrow and will last for the next 30 days, the governor announced Wednesday.
"At this point, I think that even though there are lots of places in Florida with a very low infection rate, it makes sense to make this move now," DeSantis explained.
Under the order, Floridians are directed to limit all movements outside of the home for the next 30 days and only leave home to conduct "essential" services, activities and business.
Several counties, including Hillsborough and Pinellas, had already put their own 'safer-at-home' orders in place, but this new order will apply to the entire state and supercedes all county orders.
Under the order, individuals may work from home and businesses or organizations are encouraged to provide delivery, carry-out or curbside service.
Under the order, groups of more than 10 individuals are not allowed to gather in a public space.
