After the CDC updated its guidelines about wearing masks indoors, Disney World changed its mask policy to require all guests (regardless of their vaccination status) to wear masks indoors. This comes after COVID-19 cases spiked 800% last month in Florida, but now cases are spiking again.

According to WPLG Local 10, Florida reported 26,203 new COVID-19 cases to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Wednesday, August 24th. This is the highest number reported in a single day from the state.
