New limitations have been placed on public gatherings in Flagler County.
All bars, pubs and nightclubs are to suspend the sale of alcoholic beverages for the next 30 days. All beach gatherings are limited to no more than 10 persons, and it is suggested that you distance yourselves from other parties by 6 feet.
Restaurants are immediately limited to 50% of their current building occupancy, and must maintain a minimum of 6 feet between groups of patrons. Additionally, they must limit parties to no more than 10 individuals, as well as other personnel screening requirements and restrictions.
“We are urging our restaurants consider takeout and delivery options,” Emergency Management Director Jonathan Lord said. “The 50% capacity is intended to ensure social distancing — 6 feet of space between your family and other customers.”
