News conference, FL governor announces Phase 1 reopening beginning Monday May 4

Bars and restaurants can open dining, 25% seating , social distancing for outside areas

Movie theaters, close personal contact services, hair salons etc. remain closed. Schools remain closed

Biggest population counties will remain closed, Miami- Dade, Palm, 2 others

Hospitals can reopen non urgent surgeries if they choose.

Beaches in other parts of state other than Miami- Dade can open with restrictions. Local govts will most likely follow state directions, though more beaches are opening May 1.

It's a whole new world

PBC has a lower % of deaths and cases than the red counties. We are almost totally suburban, and our county leadership, whom I trust, says we have done a good job with things. Miami-Dade is the one really being slammed.
