4/1/20: Desantis orders statewide shutdown, says Trump and task force did NOT recommend shutdown
Quote:
On Tuesday, the governor said the White House’s COVID-19 task force hadn’t recommended he close his state.
“I’m in contact with them, and basically I’ve said, ‘Are you guys recommending this?’” DeSantis said at a press conference. “The task force has not recommended that to me. Obviously, if they do, that is something that would carry a lot of weight with me.”
Republican Mayor Francis Suarez of Miami, who was the first person in Miami-Dade County to test positive for the novel coronavirus, told Insider last week that DeSantis should implement a statewide lockdown.
