By Karli Barnett, CBS Miami February 1, 2021 On Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan, Miami Mayor Francis Suarez said he is being restricted by the state to put more mitigation efforts in place against COVID-19. "I had implemented a mask-in-public order back when we were allowed to do that during the summer, and that drove down cases by 90%. Now, we're not allowed to implement a mask-in-public order," he said. He said he has asked Gov. Ron DeSantis for the mayors to have more authority, but that's been met with no response.
