Schools to remain closed
10:45 a.m. update
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said schools will remain closed for rest of the academic year.
During a news conference Saturday, the governor called it a fairly easy decision, noting that the prospect of reopening for just a few weeks in May offered little academic benefit.

Some beaches reopening
7:50 a.m. update
Some local governments in Florida have reopened beaches for limited activity.
Beaches in St. Augustine were open for walking, running and swimming Saturday for the first time in weeks.
Florida never issued a statewide closure of beaches. The decisions were left to local governments. And in places where they are opening, there are restrictions. Walking and running are allowed but not sunbathing.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ response has led to a nationwide misconception that he ordered the reopening of beaches, so much so that the hashtag #FloridaMorons was trending on Twitter with criticism about the decision that DeSantis did not actually make.

Disney furloughs
6 a.m. update
Furloughs will go into effect Sunday for thousands of Walt Disney World workers.
Union officials told Channel 9 that the furloughs affect 43,000 workers, but Florida. Gov. Ron DeSantis said the furloughs affect closer to 70,000 of the resort’s employees.
He said the state is working with Disney to get employees’ information added to the state’s unemployment system.

The employees would not get moved to the front of the line, but it will help streamline the process, DeSantis said.
“It’s going to be a long, long time,” Disney worker Estefania Villadiego told Channel 9. “At least through the end of the 2020 -- that’s what I think.”
A Wells Fargo analysis predicts that it could take years for theme parks including Disney's to fully recover in terms of attendance.
The Universal Orlando Resort has cut workers' pay by 20 percent through May.

SeaWorld has already furloughed 90% of its workers.
