Today Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced, beginning Monday, the state would move into a “full Phase One,” and short-term rentals can reopen if counties submit a plan for opening safely. DeSantis added, “If your plan says you’re going to accept guests from New York City, I’m probably not going to accept that.”
Throughout Florida’s shutdown, DeSantis has kept timeshares, resorts, hotels, motels, and inns open. He gave his reason for that today saying that he needed to have places to “put up” national guard if needed.
DeSantis’ message to counties: “For the vacation rentals, what we’re doing is telling counties, if you want short-term rentals—if you want them to be open—you submit your plan and you can show how they are going to be safe.”
Bars and movie theaters also remain closed, but like vacation rentals, amusement parks can submit plans to the state show they plan to reopen safely.
In addition, DeSantis further opened restaurants and retail, effective Monday to 50 percent.
Are you saying that Chinese can kill US citizen with virus. What do we do when nuclear bombs comes our way. We need a leader that can protect us whether threat is intentional or accidental. Right now we are missing one. Had our leaders taken action several months ago when they were informed and the problem was small instead of denying we got problem you could be fishing in sunny Florida.
We’ll why don’t the people with short term rentals bring their Happy Asses down here to clean the properties. Oh yea right because they may get SICK. IM SO TIRED OH HEARING HOW MUCH MONEY THEY ARE LOSING. When your the one cleaning after guest that could be infected then you may have reason to speak ugly about what he is doing. I think he should have shut it all down until August at least
