Florida Governor to Pardon Anyone Charged for<br />Defying COVID-19 Safety Recommendations.<br />Floridians with “outstanding infractions for<br />things like masks and social distancing” will soon be<br />pardoned by Governor Ron DeSantis.<br />The Republican senator made the announcement<br />while appearing on Fox News on Wednesday.<br />He was speaking with Mike and Jillian Carnevale,<br />a couple facing 120 days in jail for repeatedly allowing<br />their gym patrons to forgo masks. .<br />DeSantis said that allowing<br />officials to give penalties to<br />people for defying COVID-19<br />safety recommendations<br />was a “total overreach.” .<br />It’s a total overreach … These<br />things with health should be advisory,<br />they should not be punitive, Ron DeSantis, via 'New York Post'.<br />He went on to say that their potential jail time<br />was particularly absurd, as “it’s not even right to be<br />wearing masks when you’re exercising.”.<br />The World Health Organization<br />advises against it! It’s not healthy to<br />be doing that in the first place, so it was<br />a bad restriction … I think they’ve been<br />treated poorly, but fortunately they’ve<br />got a governor that cares, Ron DeSantis, via 'New York Post'
