Martin County, Florida (CNN) Since many Florida public schools opened their doors about a month ago, the number of children under 18 who have contracted Covid-19 statewide has jumped 26%, state data show.

She works for the Martin County School District, and her children, ages 10 and 5, attend Jensen Beach Elementary School in the county.
