Operative words

Section 2. Adoption of the Broward County Comprehensive Emergency Order. I hereby adopt the Broward County Comprehensive Emergency Order ("CEO") attached hereto as Exhibit A.... Section 3.... This Emergency Order, inclusive of the CEO, supersedes and replaces all previously issued Broward County Emergency Orders.... Section 4.... This Emergency Order and the CEO shall be effective as of 12:01 a.m. on Wednesday, December 16, 2020. [CEO ch. 12, Section 12.A:]... (b) limits parties to no more than 6 people at a table at any one time (or no more than 10 people, if all those people are part of the same family or reside in the same household); and (c) ensures that people wear facial coverings at all times except when actively eating or drinking. Distancing requirements and table occupancy requirements do not apply to the extent they would preclude the Establishment from operating at an occupancy of at least 50% of their maximum indoor capacity... (2) Establishments that are not licensed to serve food must operate with an indoor occupancy of no more than 50% of the Establishment's indoor capacity.... Section 12.B. (1) On-premises sale, service, and consumption of food and/or alcohol is prohibited between midnight and 5 a.m.... [CEO ch. 13:] (1) Retail Establishments may allow up to 50% of the Establishment's maximum occupancy... [CEO ch. 31, Section 31.A:] Schools are not "Establishments" and therefore are not subject to the requirements and guidelines imposed on Establishments, including requirements regarding facial coverings and gathering limitations.
