OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. – Osceola County leaders announced Thursday that they would, in conjunction with Gov.
Ron DeSantis’ order to reopen Florida, repeal the county’s existing curfew on Monday.
“Based on advice from our sheriff and other law enforcement agencies, we felt that removing the curfew on Monday would best serve our community as the state’s plan comes into place,” Osceola County Commission Chairwoman Viviana Janer said.
DeSantis’ latest order, even as our Osceola Back to Work committee remains committed to a framework that works best for our unique circumstances.
At the time of the announcement, the Florida Department of Health reported 478 coronavirus cases, 128 hospitalizations and seven deaths as a result of the respiratory illness in Osceola County.
