On Sept. 25, DeSantis signed an executive order that prevented municipalities from fining people for violating a mask ordinance and has stated that hes not going to have any more lockdowns. The order, which signaled Florida's move to phase 3, also prevents cities and counties from ordering restaurants to close without justifying it for economic or health reasons.
The extension of the order comes as states across the country are bringing back some restrictions as virus cases surge nationwide.
