Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) extended the state’s declared “State of Emergency” on Tuesday, contending it is necessary to “ensure Florida schools remain open for the remainder of the school year and to protect Floridians from being required to produce a so-called vaccine passport,” per the order.
The emergency order, which has been in effect for over a year, was set to expire at midnight, but DeSantis extended it again, citing the continued impact of the Chinese coronavirus beyond a public health standpoint alone.
