Several counties and cities in Florida are imposing stricter coronavirus guidelines after Republican Governor Ron DeSantis has refused to pause the state’s reopening plan, or mandate masks statewide. Since the start of the summer, Florida’s coronavirus outbreak has surged with over 316,000 cases and over 4,600 confirmed deaths.
