There is no indication that areas with mask mandates have performed any better than areas without mask mandates. DeSantis has been a vocal opponent of requiring schoolchildren to wear masks. The governor on Monday reiterated his opposition to mask requirements for children during a roundtable with experts on Monday. "I strongly disagree with the recommendation that all children, 2 years and above need to wear a mask," Meissner said. White House press secretary Jen Psaki last week took issue with DeSantis' opposition to requiring schoolchildren to wear masks.
