Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is considered the next Republican presidential nominee, has rejected CDC guidelines. It also declared that the recommendation to wear a mask and the mandatory vaccination of state officials due to the spread of the delta mutation are unacceptable. “The federal government has no right to tell parents that their children must wear masks all day at school,” he said, signing an executive order banning mandatory wearing of masks in schools.
