Florida @GovRonDeSantis bans all visitation to all nursing homes and similar facilities for seniors in Broward County for the next 30 days. The state has counted 11 positive coronavirus cases in Broward so far.
Florida has received 1,000 of 2,500 commercial coronavirus testing kits it has ordered, DeSantis says.
They will be distributed to hospitals based on highest need starting in Broward County, DeSantis says.
"Right now, we do not have evidence of community spread," Dr. Shamarial Roberson, a deputy secretary of health, says. They are still trying to figure out the Florida coronavirus cases of unknown origin.
"I have stopped shaking hands," Gov. DeSantis says.
"We're definitely voting," DeSantis says of the Florida primary on Tuesday. "They voted during the Civil War. We're going to vote." But says moving polling places out of assisted living facilities is a "no-brainer." Adds that these primaries "are not going to be cliffhangers"
"We obviously are going to prepare for" a surge in coronavirus cases, DeSantis says.
