TALLAHASSEE – Florida reported more than 73,000 COVID-19 infections last week.
It’s the highest since January and that has some Floridians renewing calls for universal masking when students return to school in the fall.
The pressure is building on school districts, which are trying to balance safety and personal choice.
In the state’s capital, masks will be optional for students they return in the fall.
“There is no good reason to not have a mask mandate,” said Leon County English teacher and parent Sarah Marquez at a Monday rally in front of the Tallahassee City Hall.
