Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis expects 'full Super Bowl' in Florida next year

While announcing Phase 3 of Florida's COVID-19 economic reopening on Friday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he expects Tampa to host the Super Bowl next year, as planned.

"We're going to be able to host the Super Bowl in February. We expect to do a full Super Bowl," DeSantis insisted. "We're going to show that we're going to be able to do that."

The governor added he believes outdoor transmission has not been a "major factor" in spreading the coronavirus, even as the state reached 700,000 overall cases since March.

Florida's new cases peaked in July and have since grown by between 1,000 and 3,000 cases most days in the past week.
