Governor Desantis says that except for 3 South Florida Counties, Florida will be able to enter phase one of reopening as of May 4. About 40% of Florida’s Covid-19 cases are from those souther counties.
“We need to focus on facts and not fear” Desantis said in a news conference today discussing his reopening plans.
He said the state needs to open gradually. He’s themed his reopening campaign “Safe. Smart. Step-by-step.”
This plan is for 64 of the 67 counties, including Brevard. Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties are excluded. They will reopen more slowly.
