Businesses across Tampa Bay are transitioning to takeout/delivery only, and offering discounts/deals to ease the burden on so many residents. In times like this it’s even more important to show your support for independently owned businesses in your home city.

Governor DeSantis has ordered that all bars and night clubs in Florida close. Restaurants must reduce capacity by 50% and have tables set at least 6 feet apart.

Additionally, large gathering exceeding 50 people are banned, and the governor has barred groups of more than 10 from gathering together on beaches.

We’ve compiled a list of what small businesses are doing during the coronavirus pandemic, and will continue to update the list as more details become available:
