A similar rise in new cases is happening in other states, including North Carolina, Texas and California. It's leading to worries that as businesses reopen and stay-at-home orders are lifted, relaxed guidelines could lead to new outbreaks and even a second wave of infections.Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis downplayed concerns that the rising numbers are related to the state's reopening.
With widespread testing now available for anyone who wants it, DeSantis said many people without symptoms are being found positive for the coronavirus. "These are people, a lot of them don't even think they're necessarily sick, but is there so they go," he said."And granted, 98% of them are negative, but you do find cases."
Also more positive cases are being identified through contact tracing, Trepka said."And so you're more likely to pick up those people who are asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic," she said.Areas of concern, DeSantis said, are agriculture communities in South Florida, where workers live in close quarters."They've been going and aggressively testing all those areas," DeSantis said. Prisons are another area where outbreaks are being monitored and contained.
