TALLAHASSEE â Last March, when the coronavirus arrived in Florida, state and local governments enacted policies that fundamentally changed how communities interact.
Most of the changes restricted the movement of people with the hope of saving lives. But some concessions made things more convenient
in a less personal society.
As lawmakers gather in Tallahassee, some of those convenient policy changes could be here to stay. Bills making their way through the Legislature would allow Floridians to continue to
get alcoholic drinks delivered from restaurants. Other legislation would expand access to telemedicine â even for pets. And yet another proposal would give students greater flexibility to learn virtually.
