unnamed (2)

On August 6, Governor DeSantis issued Executive Order 20-192, which rescinded the previous employee screening requirements for restaurant employees. Now, employees who have previously tested positive do not need to receive two negative tests before they can come back to work. Employers are required only to implement screening protocols pursuant to CDC guidance.

The Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) has now released FAQs to provide clarification and guidance following EO 20-192, linked here and attached below.
