Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis during an interview with Mark Levin on Fox News said that Florida lead the nation in opposing COVID-19 lockdowns. 

"Obviously we were the leading state fighting against coronavirus lockdowns. We had kids in school in-person for the entire school year. I believe had Florida not done that you would not see the other states to have followed," he said

The Republican governor said that Canada remains "locked down. And I think that's what a lotta these bureaucrats wanted to see in the United States and we made sure that we lead in a different direction."
