Gov. Ron DeSantis discusses plan on reopening state

10:40 p.m. update

The state unemployment website is set to be back online Monday morning.

It was shut down over the weekend to speed up processing claims.

As of Friday, 80% were still unpaid.

“I’m less concerned about a specific date than I am about getting it right,” said Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Getting empty workplaces humming with people again won’t be instantaneous.

“It’s not turning on a light switch and all of a sudden we’re back to Feb. 1,” DeSantis said.

There is a lot we are doing now that business will have to maintain.

“Make sure every employee before they come into work self-screens, not just self-screens for the most common symptoms, but for all of those rare symptoms,” said Dr. Jamal Hakim.

That’s a growing list that now includes fever, shortness of breath, dry cough, nasal congestion, a loss of smell or taste, gastrointestinal symptoms, unsteadiness and general weakness.

Doctors at Orlando Health formed a task force aimed at training and educating companies on how to educate their employees about things like how to take off a mask, something many don’t do correctly because they were never taught how.

Continuing social distancing will be part of the state’s phase one restart.

On Saturday, DeSantis made it clear that movie theaters, sports arenas and bars will not reopen right away.

While theme park workers and many more will be out of work even longer, DeSantis acknowledged the unemployment system he called “designed to fail” has to do a better job of processing claims.

“It’s required a lot of 24/7 technical work to be able to get. So, this weekend they’re working hard to process things that have been held up,” DeSantis said.

It also includes getting the federal $600 to supplement Florida’s low benefit of $275 a week out as quickly as possible.

Gov. DeSantis says his goal is to test 10,000 individuals per day by summer

9:14 p.m. update

Gov. Ron DeSantis said his goal is to be able to test 10,000 individuals per day.

Officials said to date, Florida has tested more than 300,000 individuals, which is about one for every 64 people.
