Also, Florida was just one of nine states that as of Thursday had more than 30 cases of the condition, officially called Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children or MIS-C, according to a federal report. A majority of those cases are in South Florida with three reported cases in Duval County, ranging in age from 4 to 16 years old, and one reported case in Clay County. Nationwide, 792 cases of MIS-C had been reported in 42 states, New York City and Washington D.C.
