Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis WINK

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced he is asking the Florida state legislature for $25 million to assist with the COVID-19 response. This will help with the purchase of lab supplies, personal protective equipment and additional personnel.

Per DeSantis, the state's Speaker of the House and the Senate President are supportive of his $25 million coronavirus budget request. DeSantis believes Florida could also get a minimum of $27 million in federal dollars.

DeSantis also gave a brief update on one of the four coronavirus cases in Florida.

A 60 year old patient who was hospitalized in Manatee County for coronavirus is out of the hospital and is self-isolating, according to DeSantis. Five healthcare workers caring for the patient were tested for coronavirus and the results were negative — but they will still self-quarantine for 14 days.

There have been four coronavirus cases reported in Florida.
