Florida Transitions To Phase 2: Here’s What It Means
Florida is moving on to Phase II of Governor Ron DeSantis’ “Safe. Smart. Step-By-Step” plan, starting Friday June 5th.
The transition into Phase II will allow gyms and retail shops to conduct at full capacity.
Bars and pubs can open at 50% capacity indoors, and full capacity outdoors. You must wait to be seated so that the areas can be disinfected.
Phase II will be implemented in all Florida counties except Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. They must get the approval from the state, being as they had the highest cases of COVID-19 in the state.
Here’s the complete breakdown of Phase II policies:
Bars and Pubs
- Can operate at 50% of building capacity with an emphasis on diminished standing room capacity and prioritized outdoor service, where full capacity is allowed, with seated services
Restaurants
- Continue operating at 50% capacity, may now allow bar-top seating with proper social distancing
Retail
- May operate at full capacity with responsible social distancing and sanitation protocols
Gyms and fitness centers
- May operate at full capacity with appropriate social distancing and frequent sanitation
Amusement parks
- May reopen if submitted reopening plan is approved by local government and state
Entertainment businesses

Personal services businesses
- Tattoo parlors, acupuncture establishments, tanning salons and massage establishments may operate while adhering to guidance from Florida Department of Health (DOH).
