Such a county mandate will have to be carefully drafted in light of DeSantis's executive-order suspending fines and penalties "on individuals" violating COVID regulations, but local action is necessary. Action by enough local governments will pressure DeSantis to get real in dealing with the virus.
Eventually, there will probably be a statewide mandate in Florida, but DeSantis will apparently only change his position after thousands of Floridians needlessly die.
Full disclosure, I voted for DeSantis, but he has fumbled the handling of COVID-19.

States that require mask wearing are not faring any better than states without mandatory mask ordinances.
If fact some are doing considerably worse. Look it up.
