News of the six Florida college coronavirus cases come just days after Republican Florida, who previously served as the state's governor, told individuals to get off the beach after images of crowded beaches began circulating online despite the White House's social distancing recommendations.
"Every part of government has to start telling people: 'Take some personal responsibility here. Don't infect other people. Don't take a chance that you're going to be the one who is gonna cause your grandparent, or your parents, or another friend from school to get sick,'" he added."Get off the beach."
Florida's current GOP Governor Ron DeSantis on Tuesday announced stricter guidelines to fight the coronavirus' spread in the state, which included limiting beachgoers to congregate in groups smaller than 10."I think the steps we're taking will really reduce density, reduce crowds," he said, stopping short of ordering beach closures.
