As Florida’s positive COVID-19 cases soared to a one-day record on Saturday, Surgeon General Scott Rivkees quietly issued a public health advisory recommending people wear face masks in public.

“All individuals in Florida should wear face coverings in any setting where social distancing is not possible,’’ Rivkees wrote in a document date-stamped Monday by the Department of Health, which was included in a press release Saturday titled “an additional public health advisory.”

The advisory also recommends “all individuals should refrain from participation in social or recreational gatherings of more than 50 people,” and for those in crowd sizes smaller than that, the direction is simple: “practice social distancing by maintaining a distance of at least six feet from each other and wear a face covering.”

The directive is not a requirement and carries no penalties, but the suggestion that nearly everyone should be wearing face masks is more sweeping than the position offered by Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is rarely shown wearing a face covering.
