5:15 p.m. | Council wraps up meeting Billie Wheeler talked a few upcoming events, then asked to play the video showing bad behavior during Daytona Truck Week that attracted attention at the Daytona Beach City Commission last week. A lot of these events take over a whole new life through social media and what happens over the bridge is total destruction, she said. That was appalling to me, to see those things. She said it s got to stop and she s engaging in conversations with several of the beachside city leaders. Ben Johnson said to follow the playbook that stopped Spring Break and Black College Reunion and other events that got out of control.

Daily coronavirus cases have declined to an average of 99 cases per day in Volusia County in the past two weeks. Deaths are also down, but hospitalizations are up locally and across Florida as COVID-19 variants continue to spread. The pair of orders DeSantis imposed Monday suspended and invalidated any local order in Florida which restricts the rights or liberties of individuals or their businesses. The last remaining mask mandates in DeLand, Orange City and New Smyrna Beach were nullified by the orders, but Volusia County never imposed a countywide mask mandate or restrictions on businesses. However, the federal mask mandate on public transportation still applies at the Daytona Beach International Airport and on Votran buses.
