South Florida leads the state in cases of the highly contagious UK variant of the COVID-19 virus, with Broward County showing the biggest numbers.

Broward had 39 cases, Miami-Dade had 35 and Palm Beach County had 17, with those counties’ cases totaling more than the rest of the state combined, according to the Florida Department of Health.

The actual number of UK variant cases in each county is actually many times higher, since these numbers represent only the fraction of cases selected for additional testing.

Florida grocery store bucks mask mandate; owner says COVID-19 death toll is ‘hogwash’ - VIDEOS

NAPLES, Fla. (NBC) – A video that was taken at a South Florida grocery store shows nearly every customer and employee without a mask.

The footage was filmed this week at Oakes Farms Seed to Table Market in Naples. In it, not a mask is in sight and social distancing is not being followed.

... Even though the county has a mask mandate in place, Oakes’ store has a sign out front that states customers do not have to wear one if they have a medical condition.

“Those in our lovely government have ordered all persons entering indoor facilities to wear a mask. If you have a medical condition that prevents you from wearing a mask, you are exempt from this order. Due to HIPAA and the 4th Amendment we cannot legally ask you about your medical condition,” it reads.

“Therefore, if we see you without a mask, we will assume you have a medical condition and we will welcome you inside to support our business.”

The store’s owner, Alfie Oakes, told NBC’s “TODAY” show he knows masks do not work and doesn’t believe the coronavirus has killed hundreds of thousands of people in the United States.

“That’s total hogwash,” Oakes said, later adding, “Why don’t we shut the world down because of the heart attacks? Why don’t we lock down cities because of heart attacks?”
