Florida Congressional Democrats call
on Gov. DeSantis to Close Beaches Statewide
Following multiple weeks of sustained spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) across Florida and the United States, U.S. Representatives Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23), Al Lawson (FL-5), Stephanie Murphy (FL-7), Darren Soto (FL-9), Val Demings (FL-10), Charlie Crist (FL-13), Kathy Castor (FL-14), Alcee Hastings (FL-20), Lois Frankel (FL-21), Ted Deutch (FL-22), Frederica Wilson (FL-24), Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (FL-26) and Donna Shalala (FL-27) released the following statement:
“Due to the rapidly accelerating spread of coronavirus, it is essential that Florida’s Governor use his power to immediately close access to all public beaches in the State of Florida. Tourists and locals alike have shown that they will continue to visit our beaches in droves, so long as they remain open, despite the recommendations of local, state and federal health officials and the advice of public health experts. While this is no small request, eliminating access to beaches is an absolute necessity if we want to successfully slow the spread of the virus.”
