With a COVID-19 vaccine months away, medical workers in Florida’s coronavirus hot zones are deploying different tactics to treat patients with severe cases of the respiratory illness.
Gov. Ron DeSantis said Monday that one of the No. 1 questions he and officials at the Florida Department of Health have been receiving is about what treatments are available. “Obviously this is a novel virus, so there is not an approved treatment regimen,” DeSantis said.
To help explain what physicians in Florida counties are doing to combat the virus, the governor invited two people on the front lines to answer questions during a news briefing Monday.
