ST. PETERSBURG (CW44 News At 10) – In response to spiking positive COVID-19 cases, St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman issued an order effective Friday, requiring face masks to be worn.
Delayed my weekly live update until tomorrow as I have been speaking with county leaders and others about next steps related to COVID-19 here locally. It is clear the State of Florida is business as usual. I will be taking steps to protect our city. In the meantime, mask up.
