CDC guidelines

Florida reported the highest daily number of new cases since January on Tuesday. And it was the seventh consecutive day in which Florida reported more than 12,000 new cases.

The letter, posted on the Florida Board of Governors website, "strongly" urges students to receive the coronavirus vaccine.

Dr. Anthony Fauci said that recommending vaccinated people wear masks is “under active consideration” by the government’s leading public health officials.

The panel reversed an earlier decision and is a win for Gov. Ron DeSantis, who said the CDC overstepped its authority by restricting the cruise industry.

Gov. Ron DeSantis promised to go as high as the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse an appellate panel order issued late Saturday that sided with the CDC.

The guidance generally leaves it to local officials to figure out how to ensure the unvaccinated are using precautions while letting those who are fully protected go mask-free.

Lucas Wall says he has generalized anxiety disorder and wearing a mask causes him to feel like he’s having a panic attack. He claims the flight mask mandate is unconstitutional.

In a filing Wednesday, Attorney General Ashley Moody wrote that “cruise companies are trying their best to work with the CDC because they have no choice. But make no mistake - the CDC continues its overreach."

The vote won't affect the current school year, since it comes a day after students' last day of class, but would make masks optional at graduation and summer school.

The landscape has changed for these voluntary governing organizations. Experts tell us how much power they still have over residents.
