The White House task force also calls for “proactive testing of those under 40 to prevent asymptomatic silent spread to their household members.”Earlier this week, Florida became the third state to pass 1.5 million cases of COVID-19.

Meanwhile, two newspapers last week sued the administration of Gov. Ron DeSantis for failing to make public the weekly reports which provide recommendations and snapshots of virus conditions state by state.
