Governor DeSantis announced Phase 1 of the Plan for Florida’s Recovery which took effect May 4, 2020 and was subsequently updated with changes taking effect May 11. See the Governor’s Actions and Emergency Orders for the latest guidance for businesses in Florida.
On April 1, 2020, Governor DeSantis directed all individuals in the state of Florida to limit their movements and personal interaction outside of their home to only those necessary to obtain or provide essential services. Review federal guidance on essential infrastructure. See a list of businesses and industries considered essential services.

Preparing Workplaces for a COVID-19 Outbreak
Businesses and employers can prevent and slow the spread of COVID-19 . Employers should plan to respond in a flexible way to varying levels of disease transmission in the community and be prepared to refine their business response plans as needed. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), most American workers will likely experience low or medium exposure risk levels at their job or place of employment (see OSHA guidance for employers for more information about job risk classifications).
All employers need to consider how best to decrease the spread of COVID-19 and lower the impact in their workplace. This may include activities in one or more of the following areas:
- reduce transmission among employees,
- maintain healthy business operations, and
- maintain a healthy work environment.
To prevent stigma and discrimination in the workplace, use only the guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to determine risk of COVID-19 infection. Do not make determinations of risk based on race or country of origin and be sure to maintain confidentiality of people with confirmed coronavirus infection. There is much more to learn about the transmissibility, severity, and other features of COVID-19 and investigations are ongoing.
