ORLANDO, Fla. – After Gov. Ron DeSantis’ announcement that Florida would reopen as part of Phase One on Wednesday, government leaders around the state began trying to answer the question of what it meant for their residents.
Seminole County Chairman Jay Zembower was the first Central Florida leader to walk up to a microphone. "As a small business owner, myself, I’m extremely disappointed that some businesses will continue to suffer," he told reporters at a news conference.
Seminole County did not have its own stay-at-home order, but leaders did enact a social distancing order. Zembower said the businesses that were qualified under the governor's order should be able to open on Monday.
