Former President Donald Trump’s administration told Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) to reinstitute masking and social distancing in Florida in 2021, months after the governor had reopened the state.
In a letter obtained by the Washington Examiner, Trump’s White House Coronavirus Task Force warned DeSantis’s administration that “aggressive mitigation must be used,” including “uniform implementation” of 2-3-ply well-fitting masks and “strict physical distancing.”
