TALLAHASSEE – Testimony during a Senate committee Wednesday revealed there are at least 112 COVID-19-related lawsuits in the pipeline against nursing and assisted living facilities in Florida.
But legislation approved by the committee gets health care providers one step closer to being protected from COVID suits, as long as they followed the rules.

Over the last decade, retailers at the opposite ends of the shopping spectrum have found success while those occupying the middle ground have struggled to find their feet.
