FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — As Florida moves toward a new normal, the state is seeing an uptick in new COVID-19 cases, just as the subvariant known as “stealth omicron” takes over.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows Florida recorded 10,137 new cases for the seven days ending March 31, a 15.9% increase from the 8,746 new cases it reported during the seven days prior.
The uptick comes after Florida saw its lowest level of new cases during the seven-day period ending March 11.
