Health advocates and COVID-19 victims call on Gov. DeSantis to rethink reopening

Posted on October 7, 2020

Web conference on Thursday, Oct. 8, 2020

WHAT: Health advocates and Floridians who have lost loved ones to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) will hold a virtual media conference and vigil to commemorate a national week of mourning for the more than 200,000 Americans who have died from this deadly virus. More than 14,500 people have died from COVID-19 in Florida.

The national week of mourning comes after Gov. Ron DeSantis recently lifted restrictions on indoor dining, an activity linked to a higher risk of transmitting the coronavirus, even though Florida still has virus levels well above what health professionals deem safe for reopening.

WHO:
Sydney Riess, Public Health Fellow, U.S. PIRG
Marco Reyes, Miami Resident, Marked By Covid
Diana Russo, Tampa Resident, Marked By Covid

WHEN: Thursday, October 8, 2020 at 10:00AM

WHERE: RSVP HERE to join the media conference via zoom
