UPDATE:
@GovRonDeSantis said a "Central Florida airport" tested 500 workers who work closely for #COVID19 and found 260 positive cases, 52% rate.
I just talked to @MCO.
They say two sets of data must have been confused.

I've reached out to the governor's office for comment, and to our other local airports to get their current case counts. Will update as we learn more.
