As of May 3, 2021, Gov. Ron DeSantis lifted any and all mask and face covering ordinances still in effect.
That came months after the Governor put an order in place blocking enforcement of masks. Businesses such as theme parks can still request face coverings be used or require masks to gain entry. But in the state of Florida, no government requires the use of masks, and a new law in place July 1 severely limits the ability of governments to take further action in future emergencies. T
he potential still exists for legal challenges to the law or the Governor’s action.
In the past, President Joe Biden hinted at a national mandate for masks when he took office on Jan. 20, but ultimately just encouraged use of masks as a patriotic duty. A significant number of Florida jurisdictions at various points since March 1, 2020, when the coronavirus first surfaced in the state, required masks in public and at designated businesses.
Even after DeSantis moved Florida to Phase Three of a state reopening, which he originally said would preempt any fines and punishments attached to local rules, many mask ordinances were implemented and stood up to court challenges. Many jurisdictions continue to have fine ordinances on the books even though the penalties are not being levied and cannot be collected.
Here’s Florida Politics’ roundup of regulations in the Sunshine State. Most orders last through the duration of the state of emergency, which DeSantis lifted on May 3. At this point, this list exists in posterity and reflects the state of mask regulations up until DeSantis ended Florida’s state of emergency.
COUNTIES
Alachua County
While a mask requirement has been on the books for some time, county officials announced it would enforce it with fines beginning on June 25, reports WCJB. Code enforcement plans to go to businesses with high levels of complaints and offer a warning and free mask, but then individuals who refuse to comply will be fined $125 on a first offense, $250 on a second, and $500 and a court appearance on the third offense. The most recent order also includes requirements on signage in businesses where masks are mandatory.

The local order also just withstood a court challenge, one of many repeatedly brought forward by Rep. Anthony Sabatini in his capacity as an attorney.
Gadsden County
County Commissioners put in place an order in May for everyone there to wear face masks while in public. That was briefly rescinded on May 15, WTXL reports but was reinstated again May 22. The challenge has now survived a court challenge, in which a judge said the order was constitutional and that suits continued to be filed by Sabatini are bordering on “frivolous.”
Hillsborough County
An executive order, approved on June 22 by the Hillsborough County Emergency Policy Group, requires facial coverings for employees and patrons at all businesses dealing with the public and where social distancing cannot be maintained.

But on Aug. 25, commissioners instituted a new mandate, WPTV West Palm Beach reports. Now Palm Beach officials say DeSantis’ order has usurped the mandate.
Miami-Dade County
Mayor Carlos Giménez announced an expanded mask order on July 1 to apply to all public indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the county.

so creepy and tyranical. Government telling us we have to wear something. Why do we allow this?

We allow it in order to save lives. Just because you have decided that you want to take a chance with your own health doesn’t mean the rest of us need to pay the consequence of that.

Kelly in denial….What part of the statistics of this virus do you NOT understand! We have the data now. The data says it is now worse than the typical flu! Just like the flu, elderly and health compromise citizens should do more to avoid exposure! Since when in history has the healthy quarantined themselves? NEVER!

Since we have a deadly, complicated virus that can be spread even though you are asymptomatic and we are having difficulty keeping up with the demand for ICU beds and ventilators?
SoFineSoFla
August 7, 2020 at 4:52 pm
There is no shortage of ICU beds, nobody is being denied hospital care. The report that 50 hospitals had zero ICU capacity available is because many never had ICU beds in the first place. When reported as near zero capacity while that is not a outright lie, it implies overflowing hospital rooms and ICU units. Your modern day media at its finest.

September 5, 2020 at 1:38 pm
do you research. the virus is not deadly and is not spread by asymptomatic carriers. the hospitals are empty since then from February and nurses are laid off because of that. Tuberculosis is much more deadly and contagious. seasonal flu takes many more lives than covid. there is a war on your brain committed by mass media and corrupted CDC.
kmp
August 31, 2020 at 10:59 am
So now the CDC states that 6% of the deaths were actually COVID. The rest were underlying issues or very advance age.(Thanks Cuomo- who single handedly is responsible for, they figure 11000 deaths in nursing homes now!) No excuse for this to keep going now that the jig is up!

Then your CHOICE is to wear a mask or stay inside…that is fine. You do you and keep your weird ideology to yourself. By the way, what happened to “my body my choice, right?” We can exterminate thousands of innocent babies every year, but how dare you not wear a mask. This virtue signaling and hypocrisy keeps getting more disgusting. The left has become morally bankrupt now that half the country has been socially engineered by leftist media. We just got done quarantining an entire population of healthy people. Makes no sense for those people who might catch a flu!

jon, you live in a society, not on a planet by yourself. Governments have the right and responsibility to protect the public welfare, and particularly public health. If you gave a damn about anyone other than yourself, you would already be wearing a mask in places where you might spread this terrible disease. If you don’t, you deserve to be shamed and fined.

I would love for you to walk naked into any police station.
See why it’s mandatory to have clothes on. I believe that’s government mandated.
It may open your eyes .
Plus if you love your family including older and younger family members you wouldn’t want to risk it.

Ok Bill, so no more BLM or ANTIFA riots….too soon…doesn’t fit the narrative. Trump does have the right to restore law and order in these democrat run cities that have been destroyed by decades of bad policy. By your logic, he should have the feds in those cities to enforce the law. No one is going to care about these masks when vigilante justice takes over this country and americans start killing each other. This is probably coming in the next 100 days leading up to the election. More than half this country is armed and stockpiling ammunition for their own safety. I will not be wearing a mask in November and god help any mob coming to my front doorstep. Someone could be taking their last breath through a mask. Shamed and fined…you need to grow up.

Because we are brainwashed , no evidence that mask are working and they test but people have no symptoms. 3544 people died in Florida (22000000 population )of covid what is nothing compared to swine flew and people who are healthy simply do not die . New world order is were we living in now .
Vaccinations is next step and our freedom and rights are taken away . World health organisation came out with 3,4 % of world population would die , they were wrong .
this is a world wide plan to take human rights away and crash economy . People believe the controlled media . Thinking is not what people do .
Do you know a person who is healthy who died of covid flew , nope nobody know a person , Divide and Conquer , order out of chaos .

Maybe amidst your virtue signaling you can get some of your cult members to go literally clean that s–t up, you know, for public safety and all.

However, this is Not a political issue is a social issue. The claims of racism does not apply here. Protesters started the new wave and government officials that are allowing riots and looters should be scrutinized by the PEOPLE.!.

It’s not about politics, it’s not about being scared and it’s not being a sheep! It’s about science! It’s about giving a damn about others so that we can all get out into the world.

“Just Say No” to masks if you are healthy.
The population of Duval County is 926,371
Deaths in Duval from COVID-19 are 60 after 3.5 months. The people dying are elderly and have 2 or more underlying conditions. Deaths are sad but they happen everyday.
The virus can be serious to some but so is the seasonal flu, pneumonia etc. Hospitals here are not overburdened.
Do the math. The chance of dying from COVID-19 is 0.0064 in Jacksonville.
If you have underlying conditions and it makes you feel better, wear a mask, stay home whatever.
Not wearing a mask. Staying healthy by being outdoors, exercising and not watching panic driven news deliberately flaming fear.
It’s surreal to watch people controlled by the government who relied on projection models from WA State (funded by Bill Gates) about COVID which were 1000 percent wrong.
Most states in America (except a few in the Northeast) should have followed Sweden’s example, they did not lock down or close their schools.
Sanity also prevailed in South Dakota. Great work Gov. Kristi Noem.

So Justfacts, you want us to believe that you (whoever you are), know more about how to manage contagious diseases than every contagious disease specialist or organization worldwide, the CDC, and thousands of physicians on the front lines. Is that correct? You and the paranoid fringe are somehow able to see things the rest of us can’t see? Should we also believe that all of the countries around the world that locked down and required masks immediately and have now gotten Covid under control know less about how to manage this than than the US, where the pandemic is still growing, and death tolls are higher than any other first world nation? Are they all lying, and only you know the truth? The arrogance and hubris of your position is outweighed only by its lack of compassion, and lack of importance. If you go out in public without a mask, you are a selfish ass, plain and simple, and deserve all of the same and scorn that people might throw at you. Hey, maybe negative attention is the only attention you can get? Is that it?

Well, I am happy to report that here in Palm Beach County the decision was made to require masks. County Commissioners reported their voicemails and emails from constituents were 10:1 in FAVOR of wearing masks when out in public.
The loud screaming minority of several dozen anti-mask demonstrators who were given two valuable minutes of public comment at the County Commission June 23 workshop showed Palm Beach County, state of Florida, the country and the entire world just what kind of bitter, disparaging, unfair, unjust, illegal, against Gods Law, Trump haters, Freedom haters, filthy, nasty, vitriolic, threatening people have basically checked out of Civilization to breathe mask free in their self-destructive and selfish gesture of Rebellion.
The several dozen escapees from their Trump right wing Cookoo’s Nest were immortalized on film on June 23 for the world to see. Were they possessed, brainwashed, tweaking, bipolar, schizophrenic, psycho? Inquiring minds saw the evidence first hand.
The real unseen story was shared on camera that several hundred mask wearing supporters were just outside the chamber doors but unfortunately the anti-mask cultists successfully blocked the entrance such that only a small group of supporters could get in. Seating was limited due to social distancing.
So, given that most supporters stayed home, they far outnumbered the arrogant, ignorant, and irrelevant who rushed the podium to spew out an embarrassing spectacle that, as I said, every Trump supporter and Florida elected Republican will come to regret for years to come.
These sad, repulsive miscreants of liberty exemplified every evil and odious attitude in the world today and it makes me sick to know they might live in Palm Beach County.

Dr. Fauci said on a television interview that masks will not prevent you from becoming infected with COVID-19. The only thing wearing a mask does is show unity. Since when do we need a mask to show unity? I am disappointed with our officials who think wearing masks is going to slow the spread. It shows that our officials have no idea what to do and like the power of ordering facial coverings for their citizens. It has been stated again and again, that this virus has become political and shows the true colors of the officials running our cities and counties.
There is almost 22,000,000 people in Florida and there has been a little over 3,700 deaths. Do the math. Though losing loved ones is a terrible thing, the math shows us that less than 1% of the population of Florida has died from the virus. Numbers do not lie. The increased number of cases is rising due to testing and the inaccurate count of cases. If you test positive for antibodies, you are considered a ‘case’.
I don’t know if you have noticed, there does not seem to be an expiration date to these mask orders. Do you really want to wear a mask in public for the next 10 – 50 years? Think about it..healthy people do not need to wear masks. The numbers show there are more healthy people in the state of Florida than people infected with COVID-19. The recovery rate, according to newsworthy sources in 98.7%. Herd immunity is the only answer here…

July 7 Martin County Commissioners “unanimously passed an emergency ordinance requiring persons wear face coverings in public places.” However, the copy on their website is not signed or dated (copies of other orders are signed & dated). I don’t see this order listed on this page, only the employees passed weeks ago. Can you confirm if Martin County Ordinance No. 1136 was actually filed with “the Office of Secretary of State” and made effective?

Democrats want to make this election all about President Trump. NOT their platform & Goals and Joe Biden for obvious reasons.
Democrat Platform & Goals:
*Citizenship for 20 to 50 million illegal aliens, DACA, TPS recipients their families with a cost of billions.
*Massive tax increases. All Democrat candidates have committed to tax increases of various amounts. Biden has stated he will raise taxes.
*Sanctuary Cities & States. Joe Biden supports sanctuary cities.
*Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Green new deal.(which would create massive unemployment, 100,000 jobs estimated in the transportation industry alone.) Joe Biden supports.
*De-fund & terminate border patrol & ICE.
*De-fund Police. “reimagin law enforcement” (the left’s new term.) Basically BLM is determining where your taxes go and it’s not to law enforcement. Biden recently stated his endorsement of “redirecting law enforcement finds.”
*Free Healthcare for Illegal aliens, DACA, TPS recipients (taxpayer funded with one estimate at 52 trillion) Joe Biden endorsed.
*Ending of all private / employer based health care. “Medicare for all”, Feds run everything.
*Illegal Aliens eligible for welfare & food stamps. (Elizabeth Warren’s plan adopted) Endorsed by Biden.
*Reparations for race’s harmed by Caucasians. Joe Biden committed to support Sheila Jackson Lee’s reparations bill in the House. Basically a tax will be levied on all Caucasians in America. (you can’t make this stuff up)
*Free college for all, including illegal aliens (taxpayer funded with estimates in the billions. Bernie Sanders plan adopted.
*Decriminalization of illegal entry into our country.
*Open Borders.
*End all deportations of illegal aliens, if you get here, you stay. Bernie’s website calls it a “moratorium” on deportations.
*Drivers Licenses for illegal aliens (already happening in states with Democrat leadership. Biden endorsed
*Late term abortions up to 9 months.
* Destruction and erasing our history.
How do you like Democrat Socialism? just like the third world isn’t it. Democrat Governor’s & Mayors ordering Police to stand down while the city is looted, burned. citizens beaten in the streets, monuments destroyed, police stations actually taken over and allowed to be occupied. Antifa and BLM (founder is Marxist) are the criminals behind this. Joe has recently stated that Police need to be defunded or “funds diverted.”
Biden wants to “transform America” If you vote for Joe Biden, you are voting for Bernie Sanders, or Elizabeth Warren’s far left platform.. Joe will follow the radical left’s agenda or Joe won’t get the support (and he is of) Nancy Pelosi, Val Demings, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Valerie Jarrett,. Rashida Talib, Stacy Abrams, Ayanna Pressley, Nancy Pelosi, Sheila Jackson Lee, Tom Perez, Maxine Waters, Al Green, and llhan Omar. This is the core of the socialists leftist wing of the Democrat party and are firmly in charge not old , confused Joe Biden.He will be a puppet.

People who don’t wear a mask (not counting those with legitimate medical reasons they cannot do so) fall into exactly 2 categories, period.
Category 1: Those who are ignorant of their importance, which surely by now can only be willful ignorance.
Category 2: Those selfish monsters who place their vanity, trivial comforts, and ego above the health and welfare of other human beings.
My message to those who refuse to wear masks is simply this: You are being judged every day as being in one of these categories. You should be truly ashamed of yourself. What you are doing will result in upwards of 70,000 american deaths by Dec. 1st. Do your conscience and the rest of society a favor and get the message.

People who need to wear a mask for medical reasons or fear of getting sick, by all means, wear a mask to protect YOURSELF. Therefore, you don’t need to worry about others who go without a mask. This is a democratic society…we are not communists! What happened to my body my choice….oh yeah, doesn’t fit the narrative.
David M
August 7, 2020 at 7:17 pm
You appear to fall into both categories.
Ignorance: you somehow still don’t understand that wearing a mask will prevent the transfer of the virus from YOU to OTHERS. By “YOU” I mean the collective sum of all non mask wearing fools. By OTHERS, I mean the human beings around you that are elderly, or in another high risk group.
Selfish: “what happened to my body my choice” You are saying it is okay for you to infect and kill other people. Failing to wear a mask has this exact effect. So, in your twisted view of democracy, it is okay to refuse to wear a mask that will save lives- because that’s your right. Next time you have surgery, be sure to tell the surgeon and nurses that they don’t have to wear masks if they don’t feel like it. If it kills you, at least they got to do what they wanted. Think about that.

I am a resident of New Jersey but displaced due to the virus as I am in Kissimmee, Florida that’s in Osceola county as according to the CDC centers for disease control & prevention and WHO world health organization say wearing a face covering stops the spread of the corona virus and covid-19 but wearing a face mask saves lives as it’s sad wearing a face mask has become a political statement as I wear my face mask when I am out in public and I follow the CDC guidelines by wearing a face mask and social distancing when I can as no body can order me to remove my face mask as I do it so I don’t catch the virus or give it to others as I am doing my part to control the spread of the virus. Any governor, mayor, public official that is against stopping the spread of the virus is a gutless coward or just plain stupid that needs to be either removed from office or voted out. The virus don’t care if you’re a democrat or a republican it will kill those that don’t protect themselves and those around them. So either put of your mask or get your last will and testament ready.

I do not know if someone will ever read this comment or if will have some effect, but here is my experience and some mommies experience as well. I have a 2 year old and we have been locked at home since all this started. I cannot keep her at home any longer she needs to have some type of normal life. I have been refused entrance in some place or kicked out because my baby won’t keep her mask on. How can I make a 2 year old wear a mask properly, it is impossible. A friend’s baby was refused medical treatment at Miami Children Hospital because her baby wouldn’t keep her mask on. Another person was kicked out of an airplane from American Airlines. I fully support that people wear mask, but I believe the age limit has to be move up. A 2 years old is just a baby and it is not mature enough to keep a mask on or to understand the reasons why. We cannot keep our babies locked at home forever. I just ask for a little compassion and understanding it times like this. We should show some humanity to them. They cannot advocate for themselves, they are fragile and little. It is our job as mommies to do that.

I guess the GOV announcement really means NOTHING Except the cities and counties can’t fine or arrest (UNBELIEVABLE) people now!
I am thankful I live in Fort Myers Florida actually the county Florida believes in people can make their own decisions and other words believes in the constitution

Get it and get it over with, unless you are elderly or have a medical condition. Its been a year, and you are dragging it out for everyone. I had it last January and never again. But what will you do when it mutates and you were never exposed to the original virus?? I can tell you right now, I want to get that one too, and get it over with asap! Because catching more than one strain at a time is going to be really brutal.

In Bradford County you can get away with not wearing a mask in places.
