During the Hunting Pops Outdoors outdoor concert of the Punta Gorda Symphony Orchestra (Punta Gorda) in December, the audience members maintained social distancing.

Twisted Fork recently held a concert that attracted many people to the new El Jobean restaurant.

Although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued guidelines for restaurants and social gatherings (such as concerts), not everyone has followed these recommendations since Governor Ron DeSantis reopened. In addition, some business owners stated that they were unable to reduce capacity in order to survive and pay the bills.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone perform social evacuations, wear masks, and when dining indoors (the highest risk factor) or outdoors, the distance between tables should be at least 6 feet.

Ask local businesses and governments what they are doing during the pandemic.

On its website (

), the company revealed that employees and audiences have undergone temperature checks and must wear masks. Ticket holders with a fever higher than 100.4 will be refused entry, but their money will be refunded.

The entry time is staggered; individuals or groups are directed to their seats to maintain social distance from others. To avoid going to the toilet, please refrain from intermission. The mask can only be removed when the audience is sitting on the seat. Provide non-contact hand sanitizer station.

Practice social distancing and require customers to wear masks in theaters. The shop is open from 9 am to 3 pm, but the cafe is still closed. "Redundancies; only eight employees remain." Carter said. He said that the non-profit Cultural Center (Cultural Center) must invest the savings of the past 60 years.

More performances are planned, but tickets will be reduced. He said that only 500-seat theaters can sell 150-200 seats for social mediation.

The restaurant also has 24,000 covered entertainment pavilions back porches. However, the pandemic has scheduled the restaurant and pavilion to open in December 2019. It was originally scheduled to be rescheduled in March, but Twisted Fork did not open until last Labor Day.

Paisley said that this had a huge impact on finances. In order to survive, he had to sell his boat, two motorcycles and a Rolex watch.

"Our opening rate is 50%," Pasley said. "Because of the hype before the opening, we did well before the governor. DeSantis brought us to 100%."

When Twisted Fork opened, Parsley had 120 workers on its payroll, and the food and beverage bills were surprising. He said that business has been stable, and if there is no pandemic and all the snowbirds come back this season, things will be better.

The pavilion is open on all sides, and the six barn doors and front doors of the restaurant are often kept open to let the air fresh. Pasley said that although many people did not wear masks because "they are ready to return to normal", the entire factory is still undergoing additional cleaning and disinfection.

The owner, Eric Andreas, said that Visani “has returned to normal to some extent”, but he said he is working hard to keep people safe.

"Now, all employees are wearing masks." He said that the club did not authorize spectators. He said: "We are not trying to force people to do anything." "We try to make everyone happy."

Although Visani practices social mediation on the seats, in some cases this is impossible. Andreas said the tickets for Damon Waynes, scheduled to perform from February 18 to 21, "sold out in March last year." However, if someone feels uncomfortable at the end of the show, Andreas will refund the ticket price or give a gift card for future shows.

He said that because bigger celebrities charge more, he cannot limit the seats for performances. He said, like everyone else, "I have to pay the bill to stay open."

She said: "I'm very lucky." Her restaurant has an exterior courtyard that can accommodate up to 150 people. The server was wearing a mask, and the employee's body temperature was taken at the door. She respects the comfort of her customers and will try to keep them socially away from other indoor tables if they request it.

She said that whether the server and client wear masks depends on the server and client. She said: "Some have some, some don't." Like other restaurants, business has declined during the pandemic. She said: "Everything has not returned to normal."

health

Although the CDC made recommendations for operating bars and restaurants, there were "no instructions." If there is an outbreak of COVID-19, the health department will not contact the tracking company, "but only infected individuals."

Hudd said that during the pandemic, the Florida Department of Health had to hire contact trackers to investigate cases and interview people.

His advice: "Wear a mask on the front end, maintain social distancing, and wash your hands."

government

"Since the beginning of the pandemic, I have thought that wearing a mask is appropriate." He said the benefits of doing so "far outweigh any inconvenience."

When asked why the county did not implement the decree requiring masks, Deutsche said that the committee “did discuss this at one time.” He said that now the number is declining, adding: “The reality is that we have 3.4. Billion virus experts."

He said that the county government building supports the wearing of masks but has not enforced it.

Anyone who wants to hold an event in the city must submit an event safety plan to the district department.

She said that the requirements for outdoor activities include "safe social evacuation and the provision of hand sanitizer."

For indoor activities, mask regulations must be followed; private places are not subject to the city regulations and cannot be enforced.
