Floridians who have completed their vaccination against COVID-19 can stop wearing masks in public, Florida Health Secretary and Surgeon General Scott Rivkees said in a recently issued health advisory.
Thursday night’s advisory comes when only 34% of all Floridians have been fully vaccinated, and days after a recommendation by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear masks outdoors unless they are in a crowd.
The state order appears to go against CDC direction that “fully vaccinated people should continue to wear a mask” at indoor public spaces because the vaccination status of others or whether they are at a higher risk of COVID-19 infection of others is unknown.

Dmitry Podobreev: UF should use food contract to promote positive change


In a guest column published last month, the field president for Aramark Higher Education, Trevor Ferguson, wrote to explain some of their business practices in the context of rising scrutiny of their food service contract with the University of Florida. As part of the movement behind that scrutiny, Food Justice UF would like to respond. 
Our coalition demands the inclusion of six specific, quantitative and stakeholder-driven measures in UF’s invitation to negotiate for a new food service contract. These measures are to support food service, food chain and farm workers; reduce greenhouse gas emissions; increase purchases from local small and mid-sized farms and vendors; and end support for the exploitation of prisoners. Ferguson’s column was more of an advertisement for Aramark than an engagement with these demands, and advertisements rarely give you an accurate view of the product.
