the surge in cases by pointing to more available testing. But DeSantis said Saturday that some businesses — especially bars with young patrons seen packed close together and not social distancing — need to be reined in.
Compliance officers with the state Department of Business and Professional Regulation are paying visits to watering holes, he said, noting that most of the new Covid-19 cases are among people between 20 and 40 years old. Though he said there are concerns about community spread.Even with more evidence of community spread, DeSantis refrained from requiring that people to wear masks in public.
Florida’s cases have gone up as previous U.S. hot zones, such as New York, have seen them drop. A Johns Hopkins University Medicine website shows the state saw 603 new diagnoses on Thursday, a figure far less than Florida's 3,315 cases from the same day.
