Florida Governor Ron Desantis announced he will sign a stay-at-home order for the state that will go into effect at midnight on April 3. This does not apply to those providing or seeking essential services.
This is designed to limit movements and personal interactions outside the home. Residents will still be able to walk their pets, and get exercise close to home, as long as they adhere to CDC guidelines regarding social distancing.
