Florida added 7,104 new coVID-19 cases and 62 more deaths on Sunday, the Florida Department of Health reported.
Sunday’s state figures mark the lowest number of new instances in nearly a month and ended a five-day series of reports of more than one hundred deaths per day.
Florida has now recorded that 487132 showed cases of COVID-19 and 7084 deaths of Florida citizens since the state began tracking instances of coronavirus on March 6.
Since the onset of the pandemic, 27,150 Floridan citizens have been hospitalized for the virus.
Sunday also marked the eighth consecutive day the state reported fewer than 10,000 new cases, a record the state has reached from June 24 to July 1.
Sunday’s decline numbers occur because many state sites on Florida’s east coast have been closed since Friday in reaction to Tropical Storm Isaias.
State sites will reopen recently on Wednesday.
The number of other people assessed on Saturday 87,975, the lowest since July 20, and the positive rate also the lowest since July 21, with 13.44% of all tests receiving a positive result.
Tropical Storm Isaias tested for Florida in reaction to a tropical typhoon or coVID-19 era.
Gov. Ron DeSantis said the Health Care Administration Agency and the Department of Health had been in contact with hospitals and nursing homes on the way to the typhoon to their needs.
At a news conference on Saturday night, DeSantis said it is unlikely that patients will have to be moved due to the storm.
DeSantis announced Saturday night that, in addition to sending shelter kits with enough non-public protective apparatus for 10,000 people, the Emergency Management Division has previously organized 1.8 million shelter food in the storm.
DeSantis said he thought it was unlikely that there would be many evacuations due to Isaiah, but that others would stick to the local government’s recommendation if an evacuation is ordered.
“In the age of COVID, I think our state councils have been, see if it’s a close decision, to err on the look of other people who shrink in fear than sending other people on the road,” DeSantis said.
