Florida emerged this summer as a hotspot of coronavirus. Although new cases have decreased over the past two weeks, some areas of the state are still in trouble.
The Sunshine State was one of the last states to issue lockdown orders and was one of the first to reopen.
DeSantis, a strong supporter of President Donald Trump, has generally fired against strong restrictions aimed at curbing the spread of the virus.
Like Trump, the governor of Florida supports the reopening of schools despite public health experts warning that doing so in areas with high business rates could exacerbate the U.S. outbreak.
Trump falsely declared last week that children are “almost immune” to the virus because he continued to call on schools to open backups.
Although the virus shows that young people are not so serious, the concern is that children with the virus pass it on to school staff and elderly family members. Schools across the country have witnessed reopening outbreaks of COVID-19.
