During Tuesday's Florida Cabinet meeting, Gov. Rick Scott gave an update on the fungal meningitis outbreak in the state. However, some mistaken copy had the governor sending callers to an adult phone line rather than the meningitis hotline.
WUSF posted that telephone number as part of its web story and was quickly notified by a reader that the number did not connect to the state department of health.
After notifying notified the governor's office, a spokesperson responded by saying the correct number has been out for days and Gov. Scott inadvertently had an incorrect number in his copy.
The correct number to the hotline is 866-523-7339.
