CLARIFICATION: An earlier version of this article said the pub crawl was put on by Liam Fitzpatrick's and Dexter's, but the general manager of Friendly Confines said it was hosted by Liam Fitzpatrick's. That has been clarified in the story below.

SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. — Seminole County leaders said they are very concerned about a picture on social media showing a large group of people not social distancing and not wearing masks that is getting a lot of attention.

The photo from Thursday night in Lake Mary was taken during the first stop of a pub crawl put on by Liam Fitzpatrick's. Employees of Liam Fitzpatrick's and Dexter's, another business, participated in the crawl.

Friendly Confines General Manager Carmen Jordan said it was snapped on the outside back patio of his business.

“Anytime you take a photo, they say, 'Hey let's get in the photo together," Jordan said. "It's not that they were like this the entire time. As you can see, there is a bunch of room for people out here (on the patio).”

Jordan said the group only stayed for about 30 minutes and left.

“People need to take special care. This is not something to play around with,” said Seminole County Emergency Manager Alan Harris of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Harris says health officials are alarmed at the number of active COVID-19 cases in the county, which has more than doubled in the past three weeks from 700 to 1,500.

“The virus is very unusual, because you don’t know how it’s going to effect the next person. You don't how its going affect the loved one," Harris said. "The loved one could be asymptotic or loved could be on a ventilator and die. You just don't know, so why take that gamble?”

An Instagram video by an attendee shows the pub crawl proceeding to other establishments in the area later in the night. Many were in large groups, with few people social distancing or wearing masks.

Harris said if a business is not following the rules, the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office code enforcement could educate them, and if they continue to not comply, a fine can be issued.

“We are going to look to larger business and professional regulations and could have the business shut down,” Harris said.
