Two cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed in Florida, and two in Georgia. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis says about two dozen people in the state have been tested for COVID-19.

First Coast Connect with Melissa Ross took a closer look at what you need to know about coronavirus, everything from preventing infection, to information about the workplace, to questions about travel.

Director of Accreditation & Infection Prevention at UF Health Jacksonville, Chad Neilsen and Attorney Tyler White, who is Principal with Jackson Lewis, P.C. in Jacksonville, joined us with more information.
