Did Florida request ventilators from the federal government?

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Tuesday doubted the validity of a news article reporting that his state had requested hundreds of ventilators from the federal government amid rising COVID-19 cases, The Washington Examiner reports.

On Monday, Miami-based ABC affiliate WPLG reported that 300 devices were expected to be delivered by day's end “to replace expended state stores" and cited a planning document from the Department of Health and Human Services. The report did not include who was the requesting authority in Florida.
