  • Florida's Ron De Santis became one of the last of the few remaining governors in the U.

  • S.

  • To issue a statewide stay at home order amid the Corona virus pandemic.

  • Mayor of the city of Tampa, Jane Castor was one of the first to take action, issuing her own stay at home order back on March 26th.

  • Mayor Castor is joining us now.

  • Thank you, Mayor, for being with us.

  • And I want to ask you what made you issue your stay at home order so early on.

  • And then why do you think it took your governor so long to do the same?

  • Well, everything that I had seen from the literature from other countries, the one thing that stood out was the distance separation.

  • You know, the issue with this virus was more so in the ease with which it was transmitted and the fact that it could remain silent than it was in some cases in the severity of the virus itself.

  • And so that was something I knew that we needed to take action on in order to protect all of our citizens in the Tampa Bay area.

  • And as far as the governor you know, this is a new issue for all of us.

  • There is no playbook, so we are learning as we go.

  • I wish that he had called for a statewide safer at home order earlier on.

  • But it's done now so that other counties surrounding us we won't travel into our city and possibly, in fact, citizens within the city of Tampa.

  • The governor's order now supersedes all local orders.

  • What's your reaction to that?

  • Well, you know that's fine, too, because we need that uniformity, but it really doesn't make any difference for the citizens of Tampa.

  • In essence, it's the same.

  • I just try to explain it to everyone because there's a 1,000,000 questions you can ask the overarching intent Mystic have that distance separation.

  • Now let's talk about your community.

  • The city of Tampa.

  • How are you doing right now?

  • Are you getting what you need from the state and then from the federal government as well?

  • I've never seen this level of unpreparedness from the federal government, so the states and the counties and municipalities are doing what they can to provide the supplies for testing in for taking the swabs and getting those those tests done well, and I have to say, I love how you are.

  • Choosing some very modern ways to communicate with the city of my teenage daughters would really appreciate this.

  • He started a tic tac page that has videos reminding people to wash their hands and stay inside.

  • There you go.

  • Well, that shout out goes to our social media team.

  • I'm 60 years old and I have zero ability in that area.

  • But my 2 21 year old son's air impressed as well.

  • But you know, it's getting in touch with the with the younger members of our community because, as I once felt their young and investable, and so they're the ones that could be those silent carriers.

  • And they couldn't be infecting those individuals in their homes that maybe in the high risk categories.

  • So we're doing everything that we can to connect with them.

  • We actually have a dance party that starting out today at six o'clock, it will have that every single afternoon for our entire community.

  • So we're very excited about.

  • That's great.

  • I'm gonna check that out.

  • Mayor Castor, thank you so much for joining us and stay safe.
