FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is scheduled to visit a testing site at Hard Rock Stadium in South Florida on Monday morning as the state’s confirmed coronavirus caseload approaches 5,000.
Many residents spent their first weekend under “Safer at Home” orders. The number of confirmed cases in Florida jumped by 912 cases on Sunday after passing the 4,000 case mark on Saturday, the largest single-day jump.
Nearly half of these people are in the hotspot of Miami-Dade and Broward, the state's most populous counties. Teachers and students across Florida, which has some of the largest school districts in the country, were set to begin virtual schooling on Monday after spring break ended in many areas of the state.
