Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., told Fox News on Sunday that “spring breakers have forced the shutdown” of beaches in Florida. Speaking via Skype on “Fox & Friends Weekend” Scott, who is in self-quarantine, made the comment as beaches and hotels in the Florida Keys are expected to officially close to control the spread of the coronavirus. The mandate applies to all visitors and all non-essential personnel who are not working in the Keys. There are currently 830 coronavirus cases in Florida with 13 deaths reported, according to The Florida Department of Health COVID-19 dashboard. Scott reported that he is feeling fine after interacting with multiple individuals who have tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
