Florida's COVID cases spike after restaurants, bars reopen

Florida, which has a large Jamaica population, reported a spike in new coronavirus cases on Tuesday, just days after Governor Ron DeSantis signed an executive order allowing restaurants and bars to operate at full capacity.
 
New cases surged to 3,266 from the 738 reported Monday. This the highest one-day number since September 19.
 
Mr. DeSantis lifted restrictions on bars and residents Friday, and scenes of  crowded bars and restaurants played out around the state over the weekend.
 
Until recently a coronavirus hotspot, Florida's cases had been falling, and the state is among only seven with at least a 10% reduction in new cases in the week ending Monday compared to the previous seven days.
