Gov. Ron DeSantis ordered Friday that all restaurants “suspend on-premises food and alcohol consumption,” according to the governor’s office.

The restaurants are allowed to continue operating, given they are providing delivery or take-out services. The governor also lifted a restriction that had prohibited restaurants from selling to-go packages of alcohol.

The governor also ordered fitness centers to close down.

The Department of Business and Professional Regulation, the release said, will enforce the order.
