So what exactly does Gov. Ron DeSantis’ stay-at-home or “Safer At Home” order mean for Florida?
The Florida stay-at-home or safer-at-home order defines what essential businesses and services remain open during the state’s COVID-19 response and outlines what people are permitted to do outside of their homes if they practice social distancing.
