NO MANDATORY MASKS IN FLORIDA

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis continues to reject the idea of a statewide mandatory masking policy even though a number of Florida cities and counties have implemented mandatory mask requirements in certain public settings. Florida’s surgeon general put out a public health advisory Saturday recommending people wear masks in any setting where social distancing is not possible and the Governor said he hopes people will voluntarily wear masks when appropriate. He said while he is not pushing for new regulations, he does plan to be more aggressive in enforcing existing rules.
