Florida Governor Ron DeSantis released a video message about recent news regarding coronavirus treatments and upcoming vaccine distributions in the state.
In the nearly six-minute video, the governor highlighted treatments currently used in hospitals, including the FDA-approved therapeutic developed by Eli Lilly. More than 3,000 doses of the therapeutic have been delivered to Florida hospitals over the last few days, DeSantis said. And, a similar amount of doses will continue to be delivered to hospitals for the "foreseeable future."
"The State of Florida is prepared to work with the federal government to distribute vaccines to Florida hospitals in the upcoming weeks, as well as new therapeutic treatments for those most vulnerable," DeSantis tweeted.
DeSantis also highlighted Florida hospitals that can properly and effectively store Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine. Those include Tampa General Hospital.
