for coronavirus cases, reporting more than 10,100 new infections as Vice President Mike Pence was to meet with Gov. Ron DeSantis Thursday to discuss the state’s response to the outbreak.
The 10,109 infections added to the state’s cumulative total included 9,558 new positive test results from Wednesday. The remaining 551 positive results were collected by the State Department of Health earlier in the week but required investigation before they were added to the cumulative total. More than 14.
Pence, wearing a dark blue mask, arrived at Tampa International Airport, where he was greeted on the tarmac by DeSantis, in a light blue mask. DeSantis has attributed the rise in cases to more testing, clusters of farmworkers falling ill, and spread among young people who are at less risk of getting seriously ill or dying.
