Florida reports 15,300 new COVID-19 cases -- a record for one day anywhere in the U.S.
https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article244173462.htmlSunday, Florida reported the most new COVID-19 cases any state has in a single day, 15,300.
Sunday’s Florida Department of Health update blew past the previous high, 12,274 by New York on April 4, by 3,026 or 24.6%. It zoomed past Florida’s previous high, 11,458 on the July 4 report, by 33.5% or just over one-third.
With this massive leap, Florida has had 269,811 cases since the start of the novel coronavirus pandemic. Florida’s last week: 69,700 cases and an overall pandemic positive test rate that has risen from 9.1% to 10.5%.
The state’s average daily positive test rate of the last seven days was 14.2%. It was 14.5% the week before, and 9.9% the week before that.
