Florida governor Ron DeSantis has been accused of overseeing a killing spree, after he extended a ban on cities in the state imposing their own mask mandates.
On Wednesday, Mr DeSantis extended an executive order issued in September, which prevented local governments from fining residents who refused to wear face masks, or from closing restaurants not complying with coronavirus measures.
The decision on 25 September prompted the start of the states third phase of pandemic measures, which allowed restaurants and bars to open at 100 per cent capacity.
Florida Democratic officials criticised the governor for the extension of the executive order on Wednesday, amid a spike in cases in the state.

I think some Republican governors have pulled this same stunt when cities and counties in their states have tried to independently increase their minimum wage and the governor overruled them and stopped it.
