Coconut Telegraph

The City of Sarasota has extended its declaration of a local citywide public health emergency through Sept. 4 following a weekly review, as required by the City Charter, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The order extends the City’s temporary street closure program through September in order to allow additional space for outdoor dining and help restaurants and retailers severely impacted by the pandemic. A partial closure of Lemon Avenue, from Main Street to State Street, is scheduled for 3:30pm to 12am Friday and Saturday. Face coverings are now required in all indoor and outdoor public spaces in the City limits, whenever proper social distancing cannot be maintained in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. The temporary face covering is in effect through October 28.
