Governor Ron DeSantis Holds Press Conference Regarding Hurricane Sally

Published | Video Starts at 09:19

You know, if any of those new policies have been enacted or are being used to try and mitigate the spread of the virus as hurricane. Yeah, absolutely. So we actually got a trial run of this for Isaias. There was not, of course, wide scale evacuations, but there were some areas in Palm Beach that did voluntary evacuations. Obviously the storm was really, didn't have significant impact there. But so you had individuals that went, they were screened. Some of them were able to do the traditional sheltering, others were diverted to the non congregate sheltering. (09:19–09:27)
