That means, as in Alabama and Mississippi, edging into reopening. The Sunshine State will allow retail stores and restaurants to open at 25 percent capacity inside, and outdoors with greater spacing between tables. Personal-service businesses such as hair salons will not yet be allowed to reopen.
The approach of the three states mirrors the types of consortia formally undertaken by governors in the Northeast, Midwest and West, though each of the three states has acted on its own.
