ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – More than 482,000 coronavirus tests have been administered in Florida, but Gov. Ron DeSantis admits the number also reflects people who have received more than one test.
News 6 is running these numbers through our trust index to find out what percentage of our population has been tested. We have been asking the governor and the Florida Department of Health that question for weeks, but despite repeated emails and phone calls we still do not have a clear answer.
During every press conference, including Wednesday, Governor Ron DeSantis gives the number of Coronavirus tests statewide, "We are close to inching up to 500,000 tests administered since this began," DeSantis said.
