Doctors Ask DeSantis to Change Course Amid COVID-19 Case Spike August 3, 2021

Given all these reasons, a group calling itself Physicians for Social Responsibility is asking Governor Ron DeSantis to change his stance on not requiring masks in schools, not mandating vaccines and limiting local governments’ ability to make their own COVID-19 rules.
Dr. Howard Kessler says DeSantis’ current approach is not working.
“We have over 20 percent of the number of cases that have been reported over the last week. These are staggering numbers. If any state should be taking action, and taking strong action, it is Florida.”
