Ron DeSantis: “3% of 200,000, you know, that's about 6,000 staff members…”

“So that's over 200,000 people that are being tested every two weeks. Fortunately, the positivity rate has been about 3%, which is lower than it is in the community. At the same time, 3% of 200,000, you know, that's about 6,000 staff members that have tested positive. And so, but we believe that periodic testing like that, routine testing, we could identify if a staff member has it. And that may be enough to be able to prevent it from spreading to the residents.” (07:06–07:14)
