Governor
Ron Desantis on Monday declared a state of emergency because of
coronavirus in the state.
As
of Tuesday morning, there were 19 presumptive positive cases of
coronavirus in Florida with two deaths from the virus.
The
goal of the state of emergency is to streamline the response to
coronavirus cases and to allow for more funding if the state needs
it.
The
declaration also allowed the state to activate Florida’s Price
Gouging Hotline for all consumers in the state.
The
hotline allows residents to report any business that dramatically
increases prices on necessary items to combat the virus.
That
including Protective masks used to protect you from others if you are
sick.
It
also includes sanitizing and disinfecting supplies, such as hand
sanitizer, gel, wipes, and cleaning supplies for surface cleaning, as
well as all commercial cleaning supplies.
Violators of the price gouging statute are subject to civil penalties of $1,000 per violation and up to a total of $25,000 for multiple violations committed in a single 24-hour period.
Price gouging can be reported by calling 1(866) 9NO-SCAM or by visiting MyFloridaLegal.com.
