FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- After two years of wearing masks and avoiding indoor crowds, navigating the next phase of the pandemic in South Florida can feel especially difficult.
Debra Touhey, of Cooper City, says she isn’t ready to let down her guard yet, but she’s pushing herself a little.
For the first time in two years, Touhey, 63, ventured back to the movie theater with her 14-year-old son. She sat in the back row and bought the two seats on either side of her family, just to ensure social distancing. “I’m trying because this might be the new normal,” Touhey said.
