Ron DeSantis hit back Saturday at New York Gov. DeSantis was an outspoken critic of the decision: in his state, nursing homes refused to admit residents who had tested positive. “I would just ask them if that’s done, just please do not quarantine any Floridians in the nursing homes in New York.”Over 6,200 elderly residents may have died from COVID-19 in New York nursing homes, state health department statistics showed -- a figure that sparked criticism against Cuomo. The comment from DeSantis follows Cuomo’s suggestion that New York may instate a mandatory two-week quarantine for any visitors from other states, specifically naming Florida. “You know that’s evidence that there’s transmission within those communities.”As of Saturday, Florida had confirmed over 93,000 total cases, with over 3,100 deaths.
