DeSantis Said Florida Won’t Lock Down Over ‘Media-Driven Hysteria’ About Omicron Variant
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis says his state will not be reinstating lockdowns over “media-driven hysteria” about the Omicron COVID variant.
DeSantis once again reiterated that his state supports individual freedoms.
“We are not in Florida going to allow any media-driven hysteria to do anything to infringe people’s individual freedoms when it comes to any types of COVID variants,” DeSantis said during a press conference on Monday.
The state is also willing to stand up to the federal government if necessary.
“In Florida, we will not let (the federal government) lock you down. We will not let them take your jobs. We will not let them harm your businesses. We will not let them close your schools,” he added.
