WASHINGTON, D.C. – During a meeting with President Donald Trump on Tuesday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he’s reviewing plans for reopening the state and plans to make an announcement on what that process will look like come Wednesday.
DeSantis didn’t say if a timeline would be revealed then. His current statewide stay-at-home order is set to expire Thursday unless an extension is issued.
Residents across the state have been itching to get back to work and resume their lives now that many businesses have been shuttered for more than a month and Florida’s unemployment system continues to be overwhelmed with applicants desperate for some kind of benefits.
