Mayor hits back at governor’s ‘foolish’ Covid-19 order

During a news conference in his office Thursday morning, St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman lashed out at Gov. Ron DeSantis, who on Monday issued an executive order that immediately suspended all local Covid-19 restrictions, even though a state of emergency still exists at the state level and was recently extended by the governor himself.

“There is no mask mandate,” Kriseman said, reading from prepared remarks. “There is no mandate requiring social distancing. There are no restrictions related to dining, to sitting while eating or drinking or tables being six feet apart. There are no more protocols or restrictions around events.”
