Florida may be an ‘oasis of freedom’ in COVID reopenings but the Capitol is still locked down
Sun Sentinel 57 mins ago Skyler Swisher, South Florida Sun-Sentinel © Skyler Swisher The Florida Capitol is temporarily closed to visitors.
Gov. Ron DeSantis and his Republican allies have promoted Florida as an “oasis of freedom,” touting a COVID-19 response that favored reopening businesses over continuing public health restrictions.
It’s a different story, though, in the building where Florida’s politicians work.
The state Capitol complex is still effectively locked down months after DeSantis lifted remaining restrictions on bars and restaurants. A sign at the Capitol’s entrance informs visitors that the building is “temporarily closed” to protect the public and employees.
