coronavirus deaths

A map of confirmed COVID-19 cases and deaths around the world. The respiratory disease has spread rapidly across six continents and has killed at least 1 million globally.

State data show that the vast majority of the deaths involve residents of nursing homes and ALFs, with one facility in Miami-Dade accounting for 70 resident deaths and another for 56.

Pinellas and Hillsborough join the state's hardest hit counties - Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach - in recording at least 1,000 deaths.

Data also show more than 230,000 new coronavirus infections on Wednesday and that 113,090 Americans were hospitalized with the virus — a number that's been on the rise.

In Monday's report from the Health Department, 7,711 people tested positive since Sunday, bringing Florida's total to 1,065,785 cases.

The state's death count from COVID-19 shot up by 100 people Thursday, bringing the total to 19,112.

Florida continues its surge of new COVID-19 cases, as well over 1 million people have tested positive for the virus.

The lawsuit claims the 70-year-old Miami Beach deli worker was prohibited by the grocery store chain from wearing a mask. He died on April 28.

While daily cases of COVID-19 statewide are once again averaging over 5,000, deaths from the virus are less than half of what they were in July.

Medical advances have reduced the infection fatality rate in the U.S. But experts warn that indoor gatherings, cold temperatures and pandemic fatigue augur dark months ahead.
