Amid a surge in the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the area, Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issued a “safer-at-home” order for four counties in South Florida on Monday that he said would be in place through mid-May.
DeSantis announced the order during a press conference Monday at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, where health officials have set up a drive-thru COVID-19 testing site. The order comes as the state now has recorded some 5,000 confirmed cases of the virus, including 523 new positive cases on Sunday, as reported by The Hill.
