Today, Rep. Lois Frankel (FL-21) issued the following statement after Governor Ron DeSantis announced the plan to re-open Florida.

“The Governor’s decision to keep South Florida home and safe is responsible. But his comments minimizing the loss of life of more than 1,000 Floridians and the seriousness of this pandemic are sad and dangerous. Of course people are afraid. We’re facing a pandemic. We should listen to science and continue social distancing as recommended by healthcare experts,” said Rep. Frankel.
