Lawsuit asserts mask ordinance violates privacy rights
Read full article: Lawsuit asserts mask ordinance violates privacy rightsStarting at midnight Thursday, people entering businesses in the states capital will be required to wear a face mask or face fines between $50 and $250. But Leon County Republican Party Chair Evan Power said the lawsuit he intends to file will make a privacy argument because the ordinance exempts people with certain health issues from wearing a mask. Florida does have heightened privacy protections embedded in the state Constitution, but Morley is skeptical a court would strike the ordinance down. But Dr. Ron Saff, who has advocated for a statewide mask mandate on behalf of Physicians for Social Responsibility, hopes that isnt the case. The governor does not typically wear a mask during news briefings at the Capitol and has consistently rejected the idea of issuing a statewide mask order amid the coronavirus pandemic, citing concerns over equal enforcement.
