Democrats urge Republican governors including Ron DeSantis to resume COVID-19 reporting after states scaled back just as cases surge
Several states scaled back their reporting of COVID-19 statistics this month just as cases across the country started to skyrocket
The shift to weekly instead of daily reporting in Florida, Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota - all led by Republican governors - marked a notable shift
The move deprived the public of real-time information on outbreaks, cases, hospitalizations and deaths in their communities
In Nebraska, the state actually stopped reporting on the virus altogether for two weeks after Gov. Pete Ricketts declared an end to the official virus emergency
