Florida Could Become COVID-19 Epicenter After Case Spike

Florida experienced a record increase in COVID-19 cases, with over 4,000 new infections reported in a single day. The total number of cases is nearing 98,000, with more than 3,000 deaths. Governor Ron DeSantis acknowledged that the rise in cases cannot solely be attributed to increased testing, as the positivity rate is accelerating. He emphasized the need for social distancing, especially in venues frequented by young people. The average age of confirmed cases is trending younger, between 18 and 35. Florida is in phase two of reopening, allowing limited operations for businesses. Other states like Arizona, California, and Nevada are also seeing spikes in COVID-19 cases.
