Ron DeSantis says his state has hit a new record low in the rate of positive test results for COVID-19, as only around 2.5% of nearly 24,000 tests confirmed an infection on Monday.

The positive news about test results came after Florida reported two notable rises in the day-to-day number of new cases.
