Get The Hell Off The Beaches: Florida Governor DeSantis Issues Statewide Stay-at-Home Order

As Wuhan coronavirus cases reach 7,000 across the state, Florida is finally shutting down. Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed an executive order that will go into effect Thursday night that will place the state under a stay-at-home order. The governor has recently done this for just south Florida where most of the cases emanated, but the spread of this disease has forced him to finally take this action. DeSantis noted that if the Trump White House’s task force on this matter recommended this action, it would weigh heavily on him. The press asked President Trump about Gov. DeSantis during yesterday’s marathon presser about this outbreak. Maybe a call was made to the governor’s office, maybe not. Around 80 percent of the country was already under stay-at-home orders prior to this announcement. It was time. With spring breakers loading the beaches and spreading it to their communities, it’s a bit puzzling why this wasn’t enacted prior. The order will remain in effect for 30 days (via WFTV):

Gov. Ron DeSantis said he will be signing an executive order for people to stay-at-home due to the coronavirus.

The order will “limit movements and personal interactions outside the home,” DeSantis said.

Only essential services will be allowed to operate. DeSantis said a list of services will be released and some businesses can be added to the list if they are deemed essential.

The order will begin at midnight and last for the next 30 days.
