Downtown Update: Numerous Bars Fail Covid Protocol Compliance

Numerous Orlando area bars/clubs including many located downtown failed covid-19 protocol compliance inspections this past weekend. The downtown venues are reported to have been Elixir, The Basement, The Office, Saddle Up, Treehouse, Celine Nightclub, and The Attic. Gilt Concert Venue, which is out on Bennett Road near Orlando Executive Airport, also allegedly failed the inspection. The list also included several venues near the University of Central Florida campus.

In our opinion, it's clear that since the Governor of Florida is not allowing any local controls or penalties for not following protocols, bar owners find little reason to follow them. As covid rages across the state, the end result is going to be another shutdown unless people put aside the politics and use masks and social distance. And bar owners need to force it otherwise they're going to lose in the end!
