I think he may have tried it with more than one person.

One he fired; one he tried to have jailed -- he's tried so many things that are simultaneously clownishly wanna-be authoritarian yet scary since nobody appears to be actively stopping him from trying to consolidate his power (and actively trying to kill people whom he apparently believes "don't deserve to live") that it's hard to keep straight whom he's attacking with what weapons ... since he doesn't appear to be facing any accountability whatsoever for his MULTIPLE abuses of power

DeSantis honestly believes lifting all restrictions will not be a problem. It is likely he has not honestly reported the real number of infections in Florida. He fired a person that reported the real numbers and raided her home and took her computers.
