The Miami Heat NBA team has proposed having two kinds of seating areas. One where all the fans have been vaccinated where seating will not be spaced out, and another area for non-vaccinated people where social distancing will be required. This plan allows a private business to increase its income and at the same time reduce risk of Covid spread in the arena. This is exactly the kind of thing DeSantis wants to prohibit and is asking for the GOP controlled legislature to make Florida law beyond his planned executive order. He also plans to prohibit any local government from having a passport plan because in this situation he doesn't believe in local control. He also will prohibit airlines from requiring a passport to fly. Flights to many destinations including Hawaii already require a negative recent Covid PCR test to fly. Nobody asked DeSantis's permission to create that requirement.
Quote:
Gov. Ron DeSantis said Monday that he plans to issue an executive order banning the use of so-called “vaccine passports” by businesses or local governments.
The governor is also pressing the legislature to take a more permanent measure against any requirements that would force someone to show proof of vaccination before entering a business or traveling.

So that's where we are now in Florida.
