Florida reports 31,518 new cases on Saturday, 217 deaths of residents

Florida health officials reported 31,518 new cases of coronavirus on Saturday and 217 more deaths.

The higher numbers reflect two days of data, as the state did not release a report on January 1.

Florida has confirmed 1,354,833 COVID-19 cases since the start of the pandemic and 21,890 resident deaths, according to the health department. The deaths of non-residents are now 320.

Miami-Dade County has already passed 300,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19, with 304,187 in Saturday’s report.

There have been at least 63,148 hospitalizations attributed to the new coronavirus in Florida since the outbreak began.

The positivity rate across the state on Saturday was 10.09%.

Deaths reported on Saturday include 51 in Miami-Dade County, 15 in Broward County and 13 in Palm Beach County.

The focus of attention, although with the spotlight still shining directly on coronavirus cases, has shifted to the vaccine in Florida. In Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach, a new phase in the launch of the COVID-19 vaccine began in South Florida with long lines waiting for those who met the eligibility requirements. The systems were overloaded with requests. Broward Health reported that it could not schedule further appointments until February, as they had reached maximum capacity.
