CBS Miami September 23, 2021 Some South Florida educators once again calling out Governor Ron DeSantis, this time over a new policy saying students who are exposed to COVID-19 but don't show symptoms won't need to quarantine. New state Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, whose appointment was announced Tuesday by DeSantis, signed the emergency rule that gives parents more authority to decide whether children go to school after being exposed to people who have COVID-19. "We are going to be following a symptoms-based approach," said DeSantis at a news conference in Kissimmee on Wednesday.
