03:46 PM EST Share Mayor Lenny Curry says he will not resume a mask mandate or require city workers to get the shot amid the virus surge.
Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry, mayors of Duval County’s three Beaches communities and area health representatives held a joint virtual news conference Aug. 4 urging people to get vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus.
The messaging comes as Northeast Florida has become a COVID-19 hotspot in recent weeks caused by what health officials call the more contagious Delta variant of the virus.
The conference included Neptune Beach Mayor Elaine Brown; Atlantic Beach Mayor Ellen Glasser; Jacksonville Beach Mayor Chris Hoffman; 4th Judicial Circuit Public Defender Charlie Cofer; and Avecina Medical President and CEO Dr. Saman Soleymani.
DeSantis met with hospital leaders as Florida breaks its own hospitalization records and hospitals impose restrictions on visitations, limit elective procedures.
