ORLANDO, Fla. — The state Department of Health reported 10,095 new coronavirus cases this week among Florida residents to bring the cumulative total to 2,310,881. With 290 more fatalities, 37,555 Florida residents are now dead.
It’s the second week with higher reported death totals, up slightly from last week’s reported 280 increase and the 211 reported the week previous, but still lower than the 29 weeks straight of more than 300 weekly reported deaths seen since early November. Deaths can take several days or weeks to be reported, though, so it will take time to see the true cumulative weekly death toll.
Case counts continue to be adjusted after initial numbers are released as well.
