The governor also released a quote stating, “directing all Floridians to limit movements and personal interactions outside the home to only those necessary to obtain or provide essential services or conduct essential activities.” Such direction has caused disruptions in the normal everyday life, but they are key to the stop of the spread.

Practice social distancing, stay home if you feel sick, avoid large crowds and close contact with sick people
