Month: July 2020

Florida remains a COVID-19 hotspot, with at least 10,000 new cases reported in the state almost every day. Still, most of Florida is open for business — with the exception of bars. Apart from a two-week reprieve in early June, bars haven’t been allowed to serve drinks since March, even as restaurants have reopened with alcohol service. Bar owners are starting to cry foul, and some are adopting creative interpretations of the rules.

Even as Walt Disney World reopens its Orlando theme parks, Florida remains a COVID-19 hot spot. Bars still can’t serve drinks, and restaurants in South Florida have gone back to takeout-only. Normalcy seems a long ways off, and some in the food and beverage industry are looking for work-arounds as they consider their career options.

As the United States marks Independence Day, COVID-19 cases continue to skyrocket. Florida is one of the worst states in the country for the spread of the disease, which is taking an ever greater toll on the service industry in the hospitality capital of Orlando. Many workers are getting sick, even as bars remain closed indefinitely to on-premises drink service. Restaurants are still open, but some employees are becoming more reluctant to trade their safety for a paycheck, despite dwindling unemployment benefits for those who were able to access them in the first place.
