Florida COVID-19 surge continues with 15,445 new cases, 139 more resident deaths

ORLANDO, Fla. — Florida’s resident death toll from coronavirus rose to 22,804 with the addition of 138 more reported fatalities on Saturday while also adding 15,445 more positive COVID-19 cases to bring the total to 1,464,697.

Saturday’s report is fourth highest for daily new cases, based on state Department of Health data. The Sentinel excluded the daily new cases that were a day after Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day as they could be two days worth of cases combined.

A record 19,816 infections were reported Thursday, the highest daily increase since the outbreak hit. The record is followed by Friday’s daily high of 19,530 cases and Wednesday’s 17,783 cases.
