Governor Ron DeSantis has lifted restrictions on youth sports and summer camps

 Governor Ron DeSantis has lifted restrictions on youth sports and summer camps.

The executive order took effect on May the 22nd.

Its says that organized youth activities may operate, including youth sports teams and leagues, youth clubs and programs, and child care.

Summer camps and youth recreation camps may also operate.

The Governor said he wasn't planning on creating rules on how youth activities should reopen saying he trusts parents to be able to make decisions and do these activities in a way that is safe.

The Department of Health will post some best practices for people to use as guidelines when restarting youth sports teams.

Those will likely include social distancing guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and prevention regarding 6 feet of separation and use of facial coverings in some situations.

DeSantis said it is time to reopen activities for kids after they’ve been locked down since mid-March when the country shut down because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
