On Tuesday, the Physicians for Social Responsibility Florida Chapter asked Governor Ron DeSantis to issue an Executive Order requiring face masks to be worn in public spaces.
The Florida Health Department reported a record 2,776 new cases of coronavirus Tuesday, marking the 14th day in a row of more than 1,000 new cases across the state.
This is why, Dr. Saff says, requiring masks is necessary to prevent the virus from spreading further.
“I think there’s a lot of coronavirus fatigue, so people are just saying the heck with it, I don’t want to wear a mask. I’m tired of it,” said Dr. Ronald Saff, member of the PSR. “Wearing a mask saves lives.”
