Reopenings have come after an April 29 public health advisory by Department of Health Secretary Scott Rivkees recommending that government offices resume in-person operations and services.
Gov. Ron DeSantis has touted for months that Florida’s “open for business,” but it’s just now that state government is reopening offices, buildings and museums that interact directly with taxpayers.
And the opening has seemingly come in fits and starts.
Some agencies said their employees returned to work months ago after offices were initially closed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. But the state Capitol opened last week --- and it wasn't until the middle of this week that state-run museums reopened their doors to the public.
