ORLANDO, Fla. – It’s been nearly two weeks since Florida embarked on phase one of reopening the state and an announcement from Gov.
Ron DeSantis about when phase two will happen appears imminent but a look at the Florida Department of Health data shows the state is missing a critical metric before further restrictions are lifted.
One of the bench marks the state set for reopening is testing, specifically over a 7 day period averaging 30, 000 tests per day.
News 6 crunched the numbers and found over the last seven days, the state had a high of about 22,000 tests on May 11 and a low of 11,000 tests on May10, failing short of that goal.
