COVID-19 Policies
[edit]During the COVID-19 pandemic, Castor offered transportation for people on Medicaid to get the Covid vaccine at no cost. She also made many Mayoral and Executive Orders during the pandemic such as Executive Order 2021-46 which introduced the Lift Up Local Economic Recovery Program. This allowed restaurants, bars, and retail spaces to expand their outdoor seating onto parking lots and sidewalks.
Super Bowl 55
[edit]During the pandemic, Tampa hosted Super Bowl LV. Twenty-two thousand spectators were allowed to attend the Super Bowl, instead of the total capacity of 75,000. During the week of the Super Bowl, the city enforced a face mask ordinance inside the bars. Castor signed an executive order mandating the use of face coverings outdoors in areas downtown and near the stadium designated for events tied to the Super Bowl.
COVID Vaccine Mandate
[edit]On August 24, 2021 Mayor Jane Castor announced that Tampa City employees had until September 30th, 2021 to be fully vaccinated, or to show a valid medical or religious reason as to why they cannot. Mayor Castor also noted that employees who are not vaccinated after September 30th, 2021 will be required to wear an N-95 mask and take a COVID-19 test once a week.
