Florida Gov. DeSantis on Thursday suggested there is a possibility that schools in his state could reopen in May after closures were ordered in March in a bid to curb the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We’re going to look at the evidence and make a decision,” DeSantis said of whether schools could reopen, reported the Tampa Bay Times.
