Good morning, people of Tampa! Carlos Hernandez here with your Monday edition of the Tampa Daily. In this issue, you'll learn about a business relocating to Water Street Tampa, a warning against taking horse dewormer, the death of Florida Highway Patrol members from COVID-19, parents pushing for mask rules in Pinellas, and more. Now, let's get started. First, today's weather: Humid and mostly cloudy throughout the day. High: 90 Low: 77. Here are the top stories today in Tampa: 1. ReliaQuest, a private cybersecurity firm founded in Tampa in 1997, is relocating to a new Water Street development tower called Thousand & One. The company says they will be able to expand from 300 to 500 employees at this new location. (Tampa Patch) 2. Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried is warning residents to avoid trying a horse deworming drug called ivermectin to treat COVID-19 after a spike in poisonings. Last Tuesday the Florida Poison Control Center said it treated 27 patients in August for ivermectin so far. (WFLA) 3. 2 Florida Highway Patrol members have succumbed to COVID-19. Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Sean Hryc and Compliance Investigator Ernest "Ernie" Brown both died from COVID-19 after serving for more than 15 years. (WTSP) 4. A Pinellas County parent group called Pinellas Safe Schools wants the local school board to reconsider a mask mandate. The new push comes after Governor DeSantis lost a lawsuit against families last week over a mask mandate ban. The Pinellas County School Board tabled discussions last week after intense debate by parents left the board unmoved. (WUSF) 5. La Segunda Bakery shared its 5 secrets to creating a perfect and authentic Cuban Sandwich: the meat, the cheese, the sauce, the pickles and the press. The chef was interviewed as part of National Cuban Sandwich Day this past week. The historic bakery has made Cuban bread locally for over 100 years.
