Earlier on Friday, Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings approved Universal Orlando Resort's reopening plans and sent a letter to Governor Ron DeSantis for final approval.

Universal presented its plan to the Orange County Task Force on Thursday, saying it would like to begin reopening in phases starting on June 1.

The resort said the opening would be gradual and would manage capacity across the entire resort, including within attractions, restaurants and stores.

In the letter sent to DeSantis from Demings, he said the following:

"Based on the review outlined above and support of the Orange County Economic Recovery Task Force, I endorse Universal Orlando's phased-approach to open their parks beginning June 1, 2020."

With the reopening, several new safety measures will be in place, including:

Temperature checks at every entrance, as well as for every employee.
