The state of Florida avoided another record in daily confirmed coronavirus cases, but still saw more than 8,000 new cases reported.
Experts say the true number is undoubtedly higher. This is as much due to incomplete evidence as it is becoming increasingly clear to scientists that a significant number of people are infected with the virus but do not feel sick or show symptoms.
According to the FDOH, 8,530 new cases of COVID-19 were reported on Sunday morning.
The positive cases on Sunday bring the total of all confirmed cases of the state’s coronavirus since the disease was first detected in the state on March 1 to 141,075, as well as a total of 3,419 deaths.
Since March, 14,244 people with severe cases of the virus have required hospitalization. The state does not report the number of current patients in hospitals with the coronavirus or the number of individuals who have recovered from the disease after diagnosis.
The number of cases reported on Saturday broke the record for most COVID-19 cases reported in a single day. The FDOH reported 9,585 new cases.
On Friday, the Florida Department of Health reported about 9,000 new cases of COVID-19.
Earlier Friday, state authorities said they would ban alcohol consumption in bars, as health authorities attribute the new outbreak to young adults who come to establishments after reopening three weeks ago.
