TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (The News Service of Florida) — Governor Ron DeSantis said during his daily briefing Friday that checkpoints will be set up at state lines in Florida, limiting travel from covid-19 hot spots like Louisiana.
Commercial vehicles would be allowed to move freely. DeSantis said that vacation rentals will also be suspended for two weeks, “if you’re coming from one of the epicenters, we probably think you should obey the directions of your state and local officials. And if they are telling you to shelter in place do that but don’t come here.”
DeSantis says Panhandle communities have relatively low numbers of cases and they want to keep it that way.
The Governor said this is an effort to prevent people from traveling to Florida to escape other “hot spots” of the coronavirus. Details on the checkpoints weren’t extremely clear, but DeSantis said people with certain license plates would be diverted and “if they blow through the checkpoints they could be pulled over”

Trump will have to send in the Army or let this Spread then watch Cuomo COMPLAIN.
I think this should be done at all roads leading from each state. NO ONE SHOULD BE ALOUD TO CROSS STATE LINE'S AT ANY TIME. But truck drivers that have been tested. STATES TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN. DONT COME TO MINE.
I hope the Gov. of Maryland closes the northern borders. Ocean city is a major destination for NY. & NJ people. We just don't need that influx of potential virus carriers. The Mayor & Govenor need to step up NOW and shut them out.
