TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) â As COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations again rise in the Sunshine State, Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday morning called the upswing little more than a seasonal flux.
DeSantis made the comments during a press conference in Central Florida. Despite the more infectious Delta variant s spread, he predicted cases would again start trending downward by August. These things have a pattern, DeSantis said. We saw the pattern last summer. It s similar. I think it started a little later. I think people should just be prepared for that.
