The Emergency Order of Suspension weekly extract is the file that carries the state’s own reopening date and time. The newest one linked from the department’s public records page on Nov. 9 is still the week ending Nov. 1. The row for the week that would cover Nov. 3 is not posted yet. It will be reported when it posts.

The department states that an inspection is a snapshot of conditions present at the time of the inspection and that establishments are not graded or rated.

Three county kitchens were ordered closed in the last week of October

The state's weekly emergency closure extract for the week ending Nov. 1 posted, and it answers the question the Nov. 1 inspections table left open: all three county licenses whose inspections ended in Emergency order recommended were approved for closure. Terra & Acqua in St. Augustine was approved to close Oct. 26 on roach and fly activity, and its reopening columns are blank in the file. South A Philly Steaks and Hoagies closed Oct. 27 on roach activity, with Oct. 28 and 10:05 in the state's reopening columns. Main St Pizza & Ice Cream in Hastings closed Oct. 28 on rodent activity, its second closure row in eight days, with Oct. 29 and 13:22 in the reopening columns. The rows, with the state's own column labels.
