'We applaud the state of Florida's current efforts. But we must do more to stop the spread of COVID-19,' read the petition.
Meanwhile, another petition, created by Doctors for America and signed by over 500 Florida healthcare workers, asked DeSantis to"issue a stay-at-home order immediately to fight the COVID-19 pandemic."
"We know how big a decision this is," their petition read."But the stakes are too high for both our health and our economy to delay. We must act now to safeguard both. In fact, the faster we enact stay-at-home across Florida, the faster we can get this virus under control and life can get back to normal."
Medical staff waits to receive ashore suspected Coronovirus patients at U.S. Coast Guard Base Miami Beach on March 26, 2020 in Miami, Florida. Over 900 Florida healthcare workers have signed a petition asking the governor to issue a shelter in place order.While the two petitions are calling for DeSantis to enact policies in the state of Florida in response to the coronavirus, there is a noticeable difference between a shelter-in-place and stay-at-home order.

As the novel coronavirus continues to spread throughout the U.S., Florida has become the state with the fifth most-reported cases. According to a tracker from Johns Hopkins University, there are over 92,000 cases in the U.S, with at least 2,900 of them in Florida. The state has also seen at least 35 deaths related to the virus.
