Florida Governor Bans STR Guests checking in for two weeks

I just received the below from my Kissimmee property manager. Coronavirus taking no prisoners.

“Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has today announced a total suspension of all vacation rentals with immediate effect, remaining in order for two weeks from today. Any guests currently staying in a vacation home can complete their stay and then go home, but no new vacation rental guests are to be allowed. Check points are being setup along Florida's northern boarder and at local airports which we understand will be instructing certain out of state visitors to self-isolate for 14 days.

The reason for this suspension is because the authorities believe that people living in Coronavirus 'hotspots' with active shelter in place orders are coming to Florida and endangering Florida residents.”

    Lllllmao. So the guy who refused to close the beaches to spring breakers, thus enabling the rapid spread of coronavirus across Florida and subsequently across the entire nation after the spring breakers flew home, now wants to restrict STR. Nice.
